The cessation of hostilities officially came into effect at midnight, but the Sudanese army has accused the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (FAR) of violating the ceasefire with attacks near Khartoum.
The Sudanese army and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (FAR) have agreed on a 72-hour ceasefire that officially came into effect last midnight, as announced by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
The head of US diplomacy has urged both sides to respect and implement this arrangement immediately, and to negotiate a final cessation of hostilities.
Blinken has stated that the United States will work with its regional allies to “support the establishment of a commission to oversee negotiations to implement a final cessation of hostilities in Sudan.”
Dozens of countries have withdrawn their diplomatic personnel from Sudan in recent days, including the United States, which also deployed two military ships to the Red Sea on Monday to evacuate US citizens seeking to leave the Arab country.
