In Sudan, armed clashes have continued between the military and the RSF = Rapid Response Force, a paramilitary organization under its umbrella, since the 15th of this month. The two sides announced a three-day ceasefire agreement on the 21st, the end of Ramadan, a fasting month in which Muslims abstain from eating and drinking during the day.

However, even after a ceasefire was agreed, fighting has not subsided in the capital Khartoum, and it continues to be difficult to secure safe evacuation routes.
