US claims: – 72 hours ceasefire agreed in Sudan

Date:

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has promised a ceasefire in Sudan. Blinken said in a written statement Monday that after intense negotiations, the Sudanese armed forces and their rival paramilitary units had agreed to a 72-hour nationwide ceasefire from midnight. The US government is urging both parties to fully comply with this agreement.

The parties to the conflict had previously made similar announcements, but the ceasefire was not observed.

Blinken said the US would work with regional and international partners and Sudanese actors to work towards a definitive end to the fighting. A committee should be set up to oversee negotiations on ending the fighting, its conclusion and implementation.

Heavy fighting broke out in Sudan between the country’s two most powerful generals and their units more than a week ago. The two men have been leading the country in Northeast Africa with about 46 million inhabitants since two joint military coups in 2019 and 2021.

De facto President Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who is also commander-in-chief of the army, is fighting alongside the army against his deputy Mohammed Hamdan Daglo, the leader of the powerful paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF). In fact, the RSF should have been subordinated to the army and power in the country should have been returned to a civilian government.
