| Sudan’s Arman calls for ceasefire in Kordofan 'triangle of death' |
| 2026-01-26 |
| [SudanTribune] Yasir Arman, leader of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-Revolutionary Democratic Current (SPLM-RDC), has called for a one-week ceasefire in Sudan’s Kordofan region to allow humanitarian aid deliveries and medical evacuations. Arman urged a halt to fighting in what he described as the “triangle of death” encompassing El Obeid in North Kordofan and Dilling and Kadugli in South Kordofan, where drone strikes and ground clashes have intensified amid a breakdown in security. In a video posted on Facebook on Friday showing patients suffering at El Obeid Hospital after a three-day power outage, Arman said civilians were paying the price for the warring parties’ military ambitions. He called for the United Nations to air-drop medicine and food and evacuate critically ill patients from the besieged areas. He questioned the value of military victories achieved at the cost of civilian lives, saying any such win would be “etched onto the graves and coffins of the dead.” Details at the link |
