In news from Sudan, heavy fighting has resumed in the capital Khartoum after a 72-hour ceasefire expired. On Tuesday, the Sudanese military accused the Rapid Support Forces of bombing the country’s intelligence headquarters. Meanwhile, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi says over 500,000 people have now fled Sudan since fighting began two months ago.
Filippo Grandi: “Today, right on World Refugee Day, we pass this horrible mark of 500,000 refugees from Sudan. And we know why. The fighting is really generating this huge exodus. And if there is not going to be a sustainable ceasefire and then peace, I don’t think that we will see an end to it. People will continue to be displaced inside or go outside. In fact, in addition to the 500,000, there are almost 2 million that have moved inside the country because they have nowhere else to go.”
