Khartoum was calmer on Saturday, May 27, as a seven-day ceasefire appeared to reduce fighting between two rival military factions, although it has not yet provided the promised humanitarian relief to millions trapped in the Sudanese capital. | Reuters
On Saturday, witnesses said that Khartoum was calmer, although sporadic clashes were reported in the afternoon and evening in the city’s southern districts and across the Nile in western Omdurman, a key entry point to the capital.
The army said, meanwhile, that its call on Friday for army reservists was a partial mobilization and constitutional measure, adding that it expected large numbers to respond to the call. The United Nations and aid agencies said that despite the truce, they have struggled to get the bureaucratic approvals and security guarantees to transport aid and staff in safer parts of the country to Khartoum and other hot zones. Warehouses have been looted.
