The warring military factions in Sudan have blamed each other of breaching the latest short-term ceasefire.
According to reports by the Sudanese army, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, RSF, had launched an attack in North Darfur for a second successive day.
On Monday, June 19, the Red Cross organisation in the country had tweeted that the ceasefire initially agreed upon was not being respected and they had had to halt an operation to move wounded soldiers to a safe hospital, despite a security guarantee.
Residents in the capital city of Khartoum had however, reported a break in the fighting, revealing that no air strikes, artillery or other fighting had been heard.
This news is coming after the US and Saudi mediators had declared a 72-hour truce on Saturday, 17 June.
This recent non-compliance with the brokered truce is unsurprising as previous truces have been unsuccessfully observed.
One can only ask if the International Mediators are really serious about brokering peace between the two military factions with the way the conflict is being poorly handled.
