Fighting Punctures Ceasefire in Khartoum as U.N. Warns 1.3M Have Fled Sudan
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Sudan, bouts of fighting between the army and the paramilitary Rapid
Support Forces have been reported in Khartoum and other cities,
threatening a fragile seven-day ceasefire. Both sides blamed the other
for violating the temporary truce, which was mediated by the U.S. and
Saudi Arabia. The ongoing fighting has hindered delivery of essential
humanitarian relief as the U.N. says over 1.3 million people have now
fled their homes, about a quarter of them seeking refuge in neighboring
countries.
