As the three-day ceasefire between the Sudanese Army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) expired, the RSF set fire to the intelligence building next door to Army Headquarters. According to media reports, the renewed violence in Khartoum comes as the aid organisation, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reported severe violence against civilians in the West Darfur region. There have been repeated attacks in Sudan, a country of about 46 million, even during the ceasefire. The RSF of former deputy Mohammed Hamdan Daglo is a quasi-army formed from militias with tens of thousands of fighters. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), almost 25 million need help, including at least four million children.
