US, Saudi Arabia Demand Warring Sudanese Factions Extend Ceasefire Amid Accusations of Violations

The US and Saudi Arabia are calling for Sudan's military government and rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces to extend their week-long ceasefire set to expire Monday night.
The ceasefire has been repeatedly violated by both sides, hindering aid delivery and restoration of services as the conflict has killed hundreds, displaced nearly 1.4 million, and devastated Khartoum.
The paramilitary RSF and Sudanese military have been battling for control of Khartoum and other cities since mid-April, inflicting widespread destruction.
Doctors warn they may have to suspend life-saving work if humanitarian corridors don't open, as sporadic clashes and air strikes continue despite the truce.
The conflict has spread to Darfur, with hundreds killed in militia attacks near Chad that residents blame on RSF-linked "Janjaweed."
