Sudan army rejects ceasefire during Ramadan
The Sudanese army has rejected a ceasefire call by the United Arab Emirates or UAE for the month of Ramadan.
The army says it will not agree to a ceasefire until the siege on cities is lifted.
This comes as Sudan’s military makes key advances in the capital Khartoum, seizing a stronghold from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces or RSF, which it has been fighting for almost two years.
The army accuses the UAE of supporting the RSF with weapons and funds — claims the UAE denies.
The UAE urged both sides to pause fighting during Ramadan, calling for “mercy and compassion.”
The civil war has killed more than 28,000 people and forced 14 million from their homes.
Aid groups warn that famine is spreading, especially in Darfur, where displaced families struggle to survive.
The war has also triggered the world’s worst displacement crisis, with 3.2 million fleeing to neighbouring countries.
Humanitarian efforts remain blocked by the fighting.
