However, they emphasized that the rebels must follow the truce's requirements this time. The army accused the RSF of attacking military institutions, sabotaging vital facilities, and endangering citizens' lives.

The clashes between the army and the RSF since April 15 have resulted in the death of at least 460 people and more than 4,000 injuries, according to the Sudanese Health Ministry.

The disagreement between the army and paramilitaries has been brewing over the past few months concerning military security reform, which includes the RSF's full participation in the military, a critical issue in the transition to civilian democratic rule.

Since October 2021, Sudan has been without a functioning government after the military ousted Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok's transitional government and declared a state of emergency, which political forces denounced as a "coup." (ILKHA)
