"The Sudanese Armed Forces agree to the UN's proposal to open safe routes for humanitarian causes for three hours starting at four in the afternoon [14:00 GMT]," the statement read. Clashes between the Sudanese regular army and the RSF broke out on Saturday, with the epicenter in Sudan’s capital of Khartoum. Government forces accused the RSF of mutiny and launched airstrikes against their bases. The RSF claimed control of the presidential palace in Khartoum and the airports in Khartoum and Merowe. The national army denied the presidential palace's takeover. Late on Saturday, Sudanese Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Abdel Fattah Al Burhan issued a decree to dissolve the RSF. Armed clashes continued into Sunday. The United Nation's World Food Program (WFP) has announced the suspension of operations in Sudan after the death of three of its employees in violence and critical damage inflicted on one of its planes.
