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.

FILM: RSF beat old man for being on street in Sudan

NOTE from Sudan Watch Editor: I cannot verify the following tweet or the film footage. As the internet is still down in Sudan, I feel compelled to share and document some images claiming to be from Sudan. Many people, especially young folk, are taking time and effort, using great creativity and ingenuity in finding ways to get their message out. If genuine, they are courageously and bravely telling the world what is going on in Sudan. I came across this Twitter page and tweet while trawling through many others. I do not know the source. Please excuse me if any images I post are faked. God help these people.

RSF beating and humiliating an old man in his 70’s just for being on the street in Sudan. Who beats an old man? He’s every Sudanese grandfather and it hurts to see this. If you don’t accept your grandfather to be beaten like this please spread awareness. #BlueforSudan pic.twitter.com/Pl59CNRYvC
