Clashes broke out this morning between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in various locations in the capital Khartoum. The parties to the conflict renewed their pledge to abide by the truce emanating from the Jeddah Agreement.

The ceasefire agreement is supposed to enter into force this evening, specifically at 9:45 local time, and remain in force for 7 days. UN special envoy to Sudan Volker Perthes said fighting in Sudan was continuing, despite a commitment by both sides not to seek military gains before the ceasefire takes effect.
