Sudan's Warring Military and Paramilitary Agree to Protect Civilians and Allow Aid
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warring parties in Sudan have signed an agreement pledging to protect
civilians and allowing for humanitarian aid to safely reach them. The
Sudanese army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces failed to agree to a
ceasefire as talks continue in Saudi Arabia. Since fighting broke out on
April 15, more than 600 people have been killed, at least 18 of whom
were humanitarian workers. Over 700,000 people have been internally
displaced.
