VIDEO GENEINA DARFUR: Sudan’s warring leaders agree new 7-day ceasefire – but civil war fears grow

NOTE from Sudan Watch Editor: This depressing stomach churning video also provides Matt Frei’s video interview with Professor Mukesh Kapila, UN humanitarian co-ordinator in Sudan, 2003-2004 who predicts the current Sudan crisis, not yet called a civil war, to result in 2 million or more refugees.

Sudan’s warring generals agree new ceasefire – but civil war fears grow


Sudan’s warring generals have agreed – in principle at least – to a seven day ceasefire starting on Thursday [May 4], as fighting continues in the capital Khartoum.


That’s where much of the focus on this conflict has been –  but we’ve managed to get exclusive footage which reveals how civilians have been targeted in El Geneina in the western Darfur region.


More than 200 people have been killed in attacks in the past week, with no health care facilities left open to treat the wounded.
