  "account": "On Sunday, Sudan experienced two drone strikes in city, the first attack on Wad Madani since its recapture last year, while Nyala, the RSF's stronghold, faced two explosions. These strikes occurred a day after army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan declared his determination to continue the conflict against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), despite pressure for a ceasefire and the US denying Burhan a visa to attend the UN General Assembly. The US visa snub was reportedly linked to US efforts to broker a three-month truce, which Khartoum rejects, fearing the paramilitary force would use the time to regroup.",
  "summary": "A drone strike hit a fuel depot near the army-held city of Wad Madani, while two explosions rocked Nyala.",
