Hospitals have been shelled, and two-thirds of those in Khartoum have closed, according to the W.H.O. More than a dozen health care workers have been killed, officials say, and basic medical services have become scarce. The fighting that erupted April 15 between a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Army — both led by opposing generals — has left more than 500 people dead and thousands of others hurt, the W.H.O. says. The violence has thrown Africa’s third-largest nation into chaos, as one declared cease-fire after another has collapsed. The latest truce to allow civilians to escape was to end at midnight last night, and though the R.S.F. said it would extend a humanitarian cease-fire for three more days, fighting was reported in the capital. The Sudanese Army has accused the R.S.F. of violating the truce and of occupying a hospital. The R.S.F., in turn, has said the army has been looting medical supplies. Response: The U.N. secretary general’s office said it was “immediately” sending Martin Griffiths, the under secretary general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, to Sudan.

Pope Francis now seeks to be a protagonist in the peace process.Darko Vojinovic/Associated Press Pope Francis’s secret ‘mission’ of peace Pope Francis said yesterday that [the Vatican was involved in a secret “mission”](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmMcz5P0T3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNC8zMC93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvcG9wZS1mcmFuY2lzLWh1bmdhcnkuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMzA1MDEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTE0NjYmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTMxNzg2JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkQflHT2Sd40QnUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine and that it would do “all that is humanly possible” to return children taken from Ukraine to Russia and to reunite families. He did not specify what the “not yet public” mission entailed. Early in the war, the pope was reluctant to name Russia as the aggressor, in part because he hoped that keeping the Vatican’s traditional neutrality could put him in a position to broker a cease-fire or peace. But questions about his failure to call out Russia’s invasion, and pressure from Ukraine, eventually led him to condemn Russia. Francis, who said the Vatican had previously played a role in facilitating prisoner swaps between the sides, now seeks to be a protagonist in a peace process. As the war enters its 15th month, both the Russians and Ukrainians are preparing spring offensives, and few believe a negotiated peace is imminent.

In polls, most British adults said they had little or no interest in the coronation. Rainy spring weather and Britain’s economic doldrums have also done little to raise enthusiasm. Then there is the contrast between King Charles and his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Her coronation in 1953 introduced a poised young monarch who was suddenly thrust on the throne. At 74, Charles is a familiar figure, one whose foibles have been dissected in the news media for decades and who still presides over a dysfunctional family. The guest list has drawn criticism. On the list is Michelle O’Neill, the leader of the Irish nationalist party, Sinn Fein, in Northern Ireland. President Biden has declined an invitation, instead sending his wife, Jill, and their 23-year-old granddaughter, Finnegan. Analysis: “In 1953, Britain was a very deferential society,” said Vernon Bogdanor, an authority on the constitutional monarchy at Kings College London. “Now, it’s a competitive society, based on people who’ve earned their position through achievement. Therefore, the monarchy is bound to attract more skepticism.” Get in touch: Next Saturday, we’re sending a special coronation edition of this newsletter.
