Fighting Resumes in Sudan as Eid al-Adha Ceasefire Collapses

HeadlineJun 29, 2023

In Sudan, heavy fighting has resumed around the capital Khartoum despite declared ceasefires marking the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. Fighting between Sudan’s army and the rival Rapid Support Forces is heaviest in Sudan’s most populous city, Omdurman, where residents report airstrikes and fierce anti-aircraft fire in civilian populated areas. The U.N. says 10 weeks of heavy clashes in Sudan and ethnically motivated killings in the western region of Darfur have displaced nearly 2.8 million people.
