Sudan power struggle: More violence despite agreement to pause

Explosions rocked the Sudanese capital Khartoum on Monday as fighting between the Sudanese army and paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) raged for a third day.
United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday joined regional efforts to pressure the warring sides to end the fighting and return to talks as the civilian death toll rose to 97.
The two sides agreed to a three-hour pause in fighting from 4pm local time (14:00 GMT to 17:00 GMT) on Saturday to allow humanitarian evacuations proposed by the United Nations.
The clashes are part of a power struggle between army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the head of the RSF group. The two generals are former allies who jointly orchestrated an October 2021 military coup which halted Sudan’s transition process to democratic rule and elections.
