The United Nations office noted that trucks loaded with food, sanitation and water destined for Nyala city have been present in Al-Zain, the capital of East Darfur, since August 14, and the distribution of these materials has been delayed.
Armed conflicts in Sudan have started since April 15 between the army forces and the Rapid Support Forces over power, and international mediations to end it and bring the conflicting parties to the negotiating table have not been fruitful.
So far, a ceasefire has been announced several times in Sudan through international mediation, but the conflicting parties have continuously violated it.
These conflicts continue in separate areas of Sudan, most of which are concentrated in Khartoum, and hundreds of civilians have been killed or injured.
The differences between Abdul Fattah al-Barhan, the head of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council and the commander of the Sudan Armed Forces and Mohammad Hamdan Daghlo, the commander of the rapid reaction forces, became public after the signing of the “Framework Agreement” to create a transitional period and transfer power to civilians.
After the army asked for the integration of the reaction forces into the armed forces, Daghlo accused the Sudanese army of planning to stay in power and not hand over power to civilians, while the army called the movements of the rapid reaction forces a rebellion against the transitional government.
