Following nearly a week of negotiations, the two parties signed a “declaration of principles” late on Thursday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, however neither party has yet to publicly announce the agreement. “We were expecting that the agreement would calm down the war, but we woke up to artillery fire and air strikes,” Mohamed Abdallah, 39, who lives in southern Khartoum said on Friday.
Khartoum North also reported hearing combat on a similar scale. According to the UN children’s organization, a factory in Khartoum that made meals for malnourished children was destroyed by fire.
