Sudan's Ceasefire Extension Fails to Halt Fighting and Bombing.
Hemedti, the leader of Sudan's paramilitary force, has said he will not negotiate until fighting ends, blaming army chief Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan for the violence. He said he was open to talks but the condition was that the ceasefire should hold. Hemedti's 100,000-strong force controls areas of the capital and has a strong presence in Darfur. At least 512 people have been killed and 4,193 wounded in the fighting, according to health ministry figures, although the real death toll is likely much higher.
