The battles between the Sudanese army and paramilitary military support militias more than two weeks ago resulted in hundreds of deaths and prompted thousands of citizens to flee for their lives
After a series of Arab and African regional initiatives, and despite several consecutive truces announced, and efforts to stop the ongoing bloodshed through talks hosted by Saudi Arabia and attended by representatives of both parties to the conflict, clashes continue in Sudan, especially in the capital Khartoum between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support forces .
As the clashes in Sudan enter their eighth week, the state of chaos is still the prevailing feature in Sudan, where the fighting between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces has led to civilians being caught in the crossfire and prevented them from accessing basic services.
Fighting is still ongoing between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support forces in the Sudanese capital Khartoum and in the Darfur region in western Sudan, where the death toll of the fighting rose to about 574 dead with the disclosure of the death of 74 people in the city of El Geneina.
The Sudanese crisis resulting from the battles between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces has led to a humanitarian disaster, damaged areas of Khartoum, risked attracting regional powers, and reignited the conflict in the Darfur region, resulting in hundreds of people killed and thousands injured over 16 days of fighting.
After months of escalating tensions between the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces Group, violent clashes broke out in the Sudanese capital Khartoum and elsewhere, dealing a new blow to hopes for a transition to democracy and raising fears of a wider conflict and delaying reaching an agreement with political parties to return the country to its short-term transition to democracy.

After representatives from the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support forces arrived in Saudi Arabia for the first face-to-face negotiations, sponsored by both Saudi Arabia and the United States," pre-negotiation talks " between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support forces are scheduled to begin in Jeddah. Several ceasefires have broken down since the fighting began weeks ago.
The head of the National Commission for Human Rights, from Khartoum, stated that the humanitarian conditions are worsening for a large number of the population in the cities of Khartoum, Khartoum North, Omdurman, and areas of the Darfur region, due to the suffering of those cities from an acute shortage of food and medical supplies and potable water, which means Sudan is on the verge of a catastrophic humanitarian situation.
