For almost a week, Sudan has been experiencing a confrontation between the armed forces from the country and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Government forces attacked the RSF's bases while claiming that they had committed mutiny. Later, the RSF was dissolved by an order from Sudan's military chief, Abdel Fattah Burhan.
According to Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a 72-hour ceasefire has been agreed upon for humanitarian reasons and will begin at 6:00 am local time (04:00 GMT) on Friday.
Earlier, US State Secretary Antony Blinken spoke with Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the commander of the RSF, and Abdel Fattah al Burhan, the head of the Sudanese military. He urged all parties involved in the conflict in Sudan to uphold a nationwide ceasefire until the conclusion of the Islamic holiday Eid al-Fitr on April 23.
"The truce coincides with the blessed Eid Al-Fitr ... to open humanitarian corridors to evacuate citizens and give them the opportunity to greet their families," the RSF said in a statement, as quoted by the media.
