Sudan fighting eclipses new truce as people flee
A man walks by a house hit in recent fighting in Khartoum, Sudan, April 25, 2023.
Those with the means to leave Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, are streaming out of the city as fighting continues between two rival generals. Those left behind are hoping that a shaky US-brokered ceasefire can provide a measure of calm. And, Israel marks its “tensest Memorial Day” in many years on Tuesday. It’s typically a moment of national unity but the political atmosphere is deeply divided. Also, since the passage of a law in Russia banning LGBTQ-related material, books have been pulled from shelves, and authors and publishing houses have had to relocate. Plus, we remember singer Harry Belafonte who has died at the age of 96.
