gimme al, my country's delegation urges all sudanese parties to immediately cease all armed clashes to prevent loss of life and ensure the safety and security of civilians as well as preserved the potential of the sudanese people who had it on men hold off either we caution against the danger of escalating violence incidentally, on the unpredictable consequences that may ensue both domestically and regionally and whitely me. the r s. f and army forces blame each other for starting the conflict. both say they won't back down with a short cease far over a no clear path to peace. the conflict continues. patrick, i ain't as a journalist and juba in neighboring south sedan. i spoke with him just as that temporary. his fire was coming to an end. he told me what he knew about the current situation in sedan. yes. what we are hearing is that people are still very much scared, of course,

fighting or not your resume as we speak now. and the issue with us also to anything at anything that we have across. so it's also the needs, but definitely i have relatives in. so don, who are very much scared, and what we are hearing is that the 3 hours of the ceasefire has provided a lot of opportunities. number one, there was students were stuck in school because in sudan, saturday on sunday, our working days students go to school. so yesterday we're fighting started some students what ready in school do us packaging school since saturday, and now with the small window, the money to return to their own home number to maybe call workers who are packed at home. have money also to, to, to find a way to hospitals. ambulance isn't being able to move, to collect those who i wanted to take them to the hospital to be treated. and also given disadvantage people a window of hope that perhaps it will be along the fire. because if they're wanting

fractions can agree to these 3 hours, then it is possible that in the future a longer the fire could be in place. however, people are still worried because of the i know nobody knows what will happen next when fighting resume. yeah. oh, yeah. as you describe, this fighting has taken a very hard toll on civilians who seem to be caught in the crossfire and suffering disproportionately. but we also know that the fighting broke out after weeks of rising tensions, and the main issue seems to be how to integrate the recess paramilitary group into the army. so what do you think needs to happen for this conflict to be resolved? there are some ways in which this conflict could be resolved. for example, south saddam has had an expedient to get i would sit down when they're c p a. what

we call comprehensive lease agreement was negotiated. that was their disagreement and similar disagreement because the disagreement into don now is that rapid support forces headed by dot com is saying they want 10 years of gradual integration into this without forces. whereas general wants to years. now, we had a similar situation in, in south sudan, and what happened was that the mediators decided to add, in this case, they would add 2 years to 10 years to make yet, and divide by 2. and that would be 6. so these would be something that perhaps both sides would, would come from. i agree on to meet in the middle somehow. each day up was so high because now like somebody like general committee, it seems not to us. if he's 40 that taken away from him, then he becomes powerless because these are the forces that have been pushing him up to the position where he has reached. as almost the vice president of

a country is into these forces are taken away that he has nothing really to do to. for example, pushes political ambitions. so there has to be a way in which except women could be lead to, to, to, to really bring the 2 sides to an agreement. that was patrick. i am reporting from juba and south sedan. patrick, thank you for all of your insights. you're welcome. orthodox christians around the world are celebrating easter sunday. the most important holiday in their calendar orthodox churches follow the julian calendar where easter falls at a different time than the western tradition. russian president vladimir putin, marks orthodox easter at midnight mass in moscow. meanwhile, the war raged on in ukraine with one russian missile hitting a church. behind all the pomp and ceremony its business, as usual,
