Sudan marked the 71st anniversary of its Armed Forces and a century since the army’s founding with grand celebrations in Omdurman.

Sudan deserves the same urgency and outcry that we give to other war-ravaged places – to make it clear to world governments and capitalist corporations that their complicity in the ongoing genocide will not be masked by glitz, glamour, or diplomatic niceties.

The United Nations Security Council has voiced “alarm” at mounting violence in Sudan, as the ongoing civil war in the country has displaced over seven million civilians.

Sudan’s warring sides agreed to a new 72-hour ceasefire brokered by the US and Saudi Arabia, hours after a deadly strike killed 17.

The conflict in Sudan has displaced more than one million children including 270,000 in the Darfur region, the United Nations children's agency said.

The number of Sudanese displaced in the war between generals have doubled to 700,000 in the past week, UN declares.

A former Sudanese militia chief has denied charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity at a first hearing of the International Criminal Court (ICC) addressing atrocities in Darfur two decades ago.
