Sudan ceasefire violations continue despite international monitoring
In early February 2026, international observers and humanitarian organizations reported multiple ceasefire violations across Sudan despite the presence of regional and international monitoring mechanisms. The incidents were reported in Khartoum, Darfur, and parts of Kordofan, where clashes and shelling were documented.
Monitoring bodies stated that violations included exchanges of fire, airstrikes, and movement of armed units into civilian areas. Both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces accused each other of breaching ceasefire commitments agreed under mediation efforts led by regional and international actors.
Humanitarian agencies reported that ongoing insecurity continued to restrict access to affected populations, complicating the delivery of food, medical assistance, and shelter. Displacement figures remained elevated, with civilians fleeing areas where fighting resumed after brief periods of reduced hostilities.
International mediators reiterated calls for compliance with ceasefire terms and emphasized the need for sustained monitoring and accountability mechanisms. As of the reporting period, no comprehensive enforcement measures had been implemented to address repeated violations.
