Original title: Sudan’s armed conflict continues and northern Darfur reaches a ceasefire agreement
On June 29, local time, armed conflicts continued in many parts of Sudan. In the capital circle composed of the capital Khartoum and its surrounding North Khartoum and Omdurman cities, the Sudanese Armed Forces dispatched fighter planes to launch air strikes on the Rapid Support Forces camp several times that day, and the Rapid Support Forces counterattacked with anti-aircraft artillery . The two sides also exchanged shells south of the city of Omdurman.
In addition, fierce fighting broke out between the conflicting parties in Zalingei, the capital of Central Darfur. According to local media reports, the Rapid Support Forces have taken control of most of the city.
The governor of North Darfur, Nmir Abdul Rahman, announced on the 29th that the two parties to the conflict and the state’s civil affairs, security, and police departments jointly established a committee and reached an agreement on a ceasefire in the state. Rahman called for the model to be extended across Sudan. However, he did not disclose specific details such as the mechanism and effective period of the ceasefire agreement.
Since April 15, the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces have continued to clash in the capital Khartoum and other places. The Sudanese Armed Forces recently announced a unilateral temporary ceasefire on the 28th, and the Rapid Support Forces also announced a unilateral temporary ceasefire on the 27th and 28th, but the conflict between the two sides has not subsided.
