Sudan’s warring generals have agreed to a 72-hour ceasefire following 10 days of intense urban combat in which hundreds have died, thousands have been injured, and foreigners have fled.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces have agreed to implement a nationwide ceasefire starting at midnight on April 24th after two days of intense negotiations.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that Sudan was on “the edge of the abyss” and that the violence “could engulf the whole region and beyond.”
The fighting had involved forces loyal to army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and those of his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the RSF.
At least 427 people have been killed and more than 3,700 wounded, according to UN agencies.
