The Sudanese army confirmed today, Tuesday, that the circumstances of the war prevented the security forces from protecting the diplomatic missions by refusing to hold them responsible for the looting of embassies in Sudan.
Attack on embassies
The Army added in a statement that the allegations by the Rapid Support Forces of the attack on the embassies were based on reports and eyewitness accounts.
In addition, clashes between the two opposing forces in the capital Khartoum resumed today, Tuesday, with explosions in several isolated areas.
heavy bombardment
An Al-Arabiya/Al-Hadath correspondent reported that violent clashes broke out in Dar er-Riyadh, Arkavit and Al-Mamour east of Khartoum and in Jabrah south of the capital.
At the same time, the inhabitants of Khartoum confirmed that airstrikes and artillery shelling increased sharply today, as the army sought to expel members of the Rapid Support Forces.
They also indicated that they had heard the sounds of heavy shelling during the night in parts of the neighboring towns of Bahri and Omdurman, Reuters reported.
Long night of clashes
Yesterday, the capital also witnessed clashes and aerial bombardments in the “East Nile” region, east of Khartoum and in the city of Omdurman, despite ceasefire talks that began last week in the Saudi city of Jeddah, which resulted in a tentative calm agreement to permission to deliver humanitarian aid and protect civilians.
The two sides also resumed those talks on Sunday with the aim of fulfilling the agreed terms and establishing a short-term ceasefire as a starting point.
search for a lasting truce
At the same time, Saudi and American officials have previously indicated that other rounds will be held later, with the aim of establishing a long-term truce. This will also be followed by follow-up negotiations that could bring civilian forces together with the military to reach a solution that will put the country back on the democratic path.
Remarkably, more than 5,000 people were injured in fighting between two major armed forces in Sudan on 15 April.
The conflict has also forced about 200,000 people to flee to neighboring countries and displaced more than 700,000 people internally, sparking a humanitarian crisis that threatens to destabilize the region, according to the UN.
