UN envoy to Sudan 'extremely disappointed'

The UN chief in Sudan on Monday slammed the failure by both the army and rival paramilitary forces to stop fighting during an agreed humanitarian pause to evacuate the wounded.

United Nations Special Representative Volker Perthes said he was "extremely disappointed that [the] humanitarian cessation of hostilities, that both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces had committed to, was only partially honoured yesterday".
