Overview

  • The militia said it accepted a three‑month nationwide humanitarian ceasefire proposed by the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, but the army has not committed and earlier vowed to keep fighting.
  • Residents and media reported overnight drone activity and explosions in army‑held Khartoum and Atbara, underscoring the lack of de‑escalation.
  • Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab reported “meter‑long trenches” and other imagery consistent with mass‑grave activity near a mosque and a former children’s clinic in Al‑Fashir.
  • The International Criminal Court announced investigations into alleged atrocities in Al‑Fashir, and the UN Human Rights Council plans an urgent session on the city.
  • The IPC confirmed famine in parts of Sudan, and aid groups say only about 5,000 people from Al‑Fashir have reached nearby Tawila, leaving many residents unaccounted for.
