Sudanese fighter jets pounded paramilitary positions in Khartoum on Thursday while deadly fighting and looting flared in Darfur, despite the army and a rival force agreeing to extend a ceasefire deal.

In the final hours of a repeatedly broken three-day ceasefire, due to end at midnight, the army and the Rapid Support Forces announced a 72-hour extension following pressure from Saudi Arabia and the United States.

Foreign representatives involved in seeking to quell the fighting welcomed the extended ceasefire deal and urged full implementation. Doing so, they said, could be followed by a de-escalation plan sketched in a blueprint for peace negotiated earlier this month.
