The Sudanese armed forces announced on Friday evening that they would agree to a three-day ceasefire. The ceasefire should come into effect on Friday to allow civilians to celebrate the holiday at the end of Ramadan, the military said in a Facebook post. The military did not give an exact time for the start of a possible ceasefire.
There was initially no confirmation from the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Moments later, however, an adviser to the RSF leader accused the army of violating the ceasefire, according to the Arab TV channel Al-Hadath. According to media and eyewitness accounts, shots and explosions were heard in Khartoum on Friday night.
Both sides have agreed on a ceasefire several times in recent days, but have so far broken it time and time again. Many Sudanese have been trapped in their homes, schools and other facilities for days. According to the UN, thousands of people have no food or access to medical care. A ceasefire is a crucial condition for any evacuation missions of foreign nationals in Sudan.
The country’s two most powerful generals and their units have been fighting for supremacy in Sudan since Saturday. The two men have led the country in Northeast Africa with about 46 million inhabitants since a joint military coup in 2021. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 413 people have been killed and more than 3,500 injured since the last fighting. weekend. (sda/dpa)
