South Sudan sinks deeper into civil war and famine

Description

At the end of last year, the UN raised the alarm that South Sudan's civil war could spiral into genocide. A new report now says there has been a "massive increase" in human rights violations. To make matters worse, a famine has been declared, with five million people in need of aid and 100,000 of them at risk of starvation. Aid agencies have begun distributing food, but government forces are accused of obstructing aid deliveries to opposition-held areas.

  • Khartoum airport calm during 72-hour Sudan ceasefire

    Images show Khartoum International Airport in a state of seeming calm as the fragile 72-hour ceasefire agreed by Sudan's warring parties holds. The halt in fighting was brokered by the United States, and has provided the opportunity for many countries to conduct the evacuation of nationals. Since April 15, deadly fighting has pitted the paramilitaries of General Mohamed Hamdane Daglo’s Rapid Support Forces (FSR) against the regular army of General Abdel Fattah al-Burhane, with UN agencies reporting that at least 459 people have been killed and more than 4,000 wounded so far.
