Meanwhile, earlier this week, it can be recalled that both sides have agreed to protect civilians, however, no ceasefire has been declared.

Following this, a prominent singer in Sudan named Shaden Gardood was killed during a crossfire between the RSF and SAF.

According to some reports, Gardood was killed after a mortar hit her home in the El-Hashmab neighborhood.

Currently, intensifying violence in Sudan continues with no signs of stopping anytime soon.
