Truce. In Sudan, will the new truce won by South Sudan be respected, unlike the previous ones? The southern neighbor, a traditional mediator, announced that he had obtained “an agreement in principle” from army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhane and his deputy, Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, at the head of the paramilitaries of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). ). Although neither side has commented on this statement, South Sudan has claimed that the two rivals have agreed to a truce running “from 4th to 11th May”. If the ceasefire is respected, it would do the people a lot of good. Because in addition to the 330,000 displaced people and the 100,000 who left for neighboring countries, those who remain must endure daily shortages of water, electricity and food, in Khartoum, the capital, and in Darfur. If the balance sheet seems only provisional, the fighting has already claimed more than 500 victims, many of them civilians.
