Conflict between the government and armed groups in Darfur has been ongoing since 2003. The government has renewed the ceasefire on 2 July for a further four months.

Despite these declarations, clashes occurred in both May and June, highlighting a lack of commitment to the ceasefire agreements on both sides.
