Sudanese armed forces declared a three-day truce starting today for the sake of the Eid al-Fitr holiday which marks the end of the Holy month of Ramadan.

"The armed forces agreed to a truce for a period of three days, starting Friday, April 21, so that citizens could celebrate Eid al-Fitr and humanitarian services were provided," the military said on social media.

Earlier today, Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) agreed to a 72-hour ceasefire on humanitarian grounds starting at 6:00 am local time (4:00 GMT).

However this initiative was short-lived, such that warring factions in Sudan engaged in fierce clashes with heavy gunfire and explosions heard in the capital Khartoum and other cities.

Last week, clashes broke out after weeks of tension between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Though the two groups were once allies, tensions have been brewing since the proposed integration of the RSF into the military.

Hundreds of people have been killed and thousands have been injured in clashes between forces loyal to Sudan's army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and his deputy, Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti).
 
World Health Organization spokesperson Margaret Harris told reporters in Geneva Friday that "four hundred and thirteen people have died and 3,551 people have been injured." The UN children's agency UNICEF said at least nine children were among the dead and more than 50 had been wounded.
