He said he had succeeded in getting the army’s divisional commander and the sector commander from the RSF on the phone and requested a cease-fire to allow locals to collect the dead and help the injured. Now there are two committees — one to help the civilians and one to monitor the cease-fire.Ahmed Gouja, a human rights monitor in Nyala, said the RSF controls the city’s north, the airport and other areas, and the military are protecting their headquarters downtown.
