Serious dispute had flared across parts of Sudan on Sunday, June 23, despite it being the 100th day of the war as mediation attempts from regional and international powers had been unsuccessful.
The fighting which broke out on April 15 when the army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, RSF competed for power, had seen over 3 million people uprooted from their homes, including 700,000 persons who fled to neighbouring countries.
Additionally, 1,136 had been reported dead, according to the health ministry, although officials reckon that the figures are higher.
Infrastructure in the capital city has fallen apart while conflict has spread westwards, to Darfur, as well as to the south, where rebel group SPLM-N attempted to gain territory and yet, none of the two warring forces had been able to claim victory.
This weekend, the RSF moved into some villages in Gezira State situated directly south of Khartoum, where the army conducted air strikes against them.
The two warring sides have shown openness towards mediation efforts of the regional and international actors, but it has yet to result in a ceasefire.
On Friday, July 21, the Sudanese foreign minister had stated that indirect talks had not officially commenced.
The RSF and Civilian political groups have accused the army of ignoring the movements of wanted Bashir loyalists in recent days.
On Sunday, June 23, a major civilian coalition group, the Forces of Freedom and Change, had announced that it was holding a meeting in Egypt and that it has offered itself as a mediator in the conflict.
