Violent clashes resumed on Wednesday between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in several areas of the capital Khartoum. The army announced the suspension of its participation in the Jeddah negotiations.
The Sudanese military said in a brief statement that its forces repelled a desperate attack on the city of El-Obeid in the state of North Kordofan (south), and inflicted what it called Rapid Support Militia heavy losses. On Monday evening, Saudi Arabia and the United States announced the agreement of the Sudanes army and Rapid Support forces to extend the ceasefire agreement signed between them for an additional 5 days.
