UN says Sudan collapsing as fighting enters third week

„There is no right to go on fighting for power when the country is falling apart,“ UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television.

The latest three-day ceasefire — due to expire at midnight (2200 GMT) Sunday — was agreed Thursday after mediation led by the United States, Saudi Arabia, the African Union and the United Nations.

„We woke up once again to the sound of fighter jets and anti-aircraft weapons blasting all over our neighbourhood,“ a witness in southern Khartoum told AFP.

Doch das Regime ist mitnichten entwurzelt: Vielmehr hat die Armee, die das Rückgrat des Regimes in Khartum bildet, den Staatspräsidenten geopfert, um sich selbst das politische Überleben zu sichern.
