CNBC/Reuters: Sudan conflict shows no sign of easing, U.N. warns of breaking point
As foreign states wind down their evacuations from Sudan, the United Nations warned of a humanitarian “breaking point” with no let up in fighting between rival military factions despite a supposed ceasefire extension.
Hundreds of people have been killed and thousands wounded over 16 days of battles since long-simmering tension between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) erupted into conflict on April 15.
There seems little prospect of a quick resolution to the crisis, which has unleashed a humanitarian disaster, damaged swathes of the capital Khartoum, risked drawing in regional powers and reignited a simmering conflict in the Darfur region.
Both sides had agreed on Sunday to extend a much-violated truce by 72 hours, but the sound of airstrikes and anti-aircraft fire rang out across Khartoum on Monday morning.
