Sudan’s rival forces agree to 24-hour cease-fire: Saudi Press Agency
ANKARA (AA): Sudan’s warring rivals on Friday agreed to a day-long cease-fire after intervention from Riyadh and Washington, Saudi Arabia’s state media said.
According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), “representatives of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) agreed to a 24-hour countrywide ceasefire” starting Saturday, 6 a.m. local time (0400 GMT).
The rival forces agreed to halt all kinds of hostilities, fighting, and reinforcement of positions, it added.
The truce also includes allowing “unimpeded movement and delivery of humanitarian assistance throughout the country.”
Many rounds of peace talks between the two sides have taken place in Jeddah since the start of fighting in mid-April, resulting in several shaky and temporary deals to stop fighting.
Millions of people are facing a humanitarian disaster, and are in need of assistance in the country.
