As the shooting continued in Sudan, a fragile truce collapsed, announced by the Rapid Support Forces unilaterally shortly after it took effect, and said that the army continued firing despite the truce, and that it would not stand idly by, stressing that it would defend all the sites it controls.
Pictures showed the withdrawal of the Rapid Support Forces from the Shambat area in Khartoum, at a time when major military operations are taking place in Khartoum and other Sudanese cities, and that the army is targeting, through heavy bombardment, the centers of the Rapid Support Forces.
The truce announced by the Rapid Support Forces, on its part, entered into force this morning (Friday), at a time when clashes rose in Khartoum. Sources in the Sudanese army said that "talk about a truce is no longer on the table" and that the positions of the Rapid Support Forces in the capital are numbered.
The explosions continued, and the sounds of heavy shelling and exchange of fire rose between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces on the morning of the first day of Eid al-Fitr, especially in the vicinity of the General Command in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum.
The Sudanese army announced at dawn on Friday that its forces were bombing the "rebel forces" south of Khartoum in a concentrated manner. While the Rapid Support Forces Command claimed that the army forces are targeting residential neighborhoods in Khartoum with a “sweeping attack.”
On the ground, more than 330 people have been killed so far, and the war has entered its seventh day, amid attempts to reach a coherent truce against the sound of heavy weapons witnessed in the last hours in separate parts of Khartoum.
Thousands of civilians fled their homes, some by car and some on foot, fleeing in search of safer places.
Dozens of kilometers from the capital, life continues as normal, and houses open to receive the displaced, who arrive in shock in their cars or walk for hours on foot, with the price of petrol rising to $10 per liter in one of the poorest countries in the world.
Eyewitnesses spoke of charred corpses, armored vehicles and small vehicles after they were burned in battles with heavy weapons. Khartoum, Omdurman and Bahri saw residents gather at bus stations with their bags.
Many Sudanese are still trapped, along with thousands of foreigners, in a city that is fast becoming a war zone. Burnt cars littered the streets. And with the continued closure of airports, the United Nations considered that the immediate air evacuation plan was impossible, which called for a review of the possibility of using land routes.
