The army walked out"because the rebels have never implemented a single one of the provisions of a short-term ceasefire which required their withdrawal from hospitals and residential buildings," a Sudanese government official told AFP news agency, speaking on condition of anonymity. The mediators admitted the truce had been"imperfectly observed" but said the extension"will permit further humanitarian efforts".
The RSF, led by Burhan's deputy-turned-foe Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, said they will"exercise their right to defend themselves" and accused the army of violating the truce.Since fighting erupted between the rival security forces on April 15, more than 1,800 people have been killed, according to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project.
Entire districts of Khartoum no longer have running water, electricity is only available for a few hours a week, and three quarters of hospitals in combat zones are out of service. The persistent fighting has impeded delivery of the aid and protection needed by a record 25 million people, more than half the population, according to the UN.
