Fighting continued in Sudan on Monday, despite the announcement of a truce between the army and paramilitaries. The clashes have brought Sudan to the brink of a "catastrophe" and could force "more than 800,000 people" to flee the country, according to the UN.

More than 500 people have been killed and 5,000 wounded since April 15, when two generals, having taken control of the country after a putsch in 2021, began to engage in a fierce battle. The new three-day truce does not change anything, experts say: it actually means that the safe corridors for the evacuation of foreigners are maintained.
