ANOTHER ceasefire between Sudan’s warring generals took effect today after nearly two months of fighting.
The deal was announced by brokers Saudi Arabia and the United States on Saturday, just as a strike on Khartoum killed at least 17 people, five of them children.
Neither the regular army nor its rival the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commented on the bombing and it was not clear initially if it had taken place in an air raid — the armed forces have a monopoly on war planes — or was a drone attack, which either side could have carried out.
The new ceasefire is set to last three days and comes ahead of a pledging conference through which the UN hopes to raise $2.57 billion (£2bn) in humanitarian aid for the country, where the civil war has cost at least 3,000 lives so far and displaced over two million people.
