The Extension Of The Humanitarian Truce In Sudan
Earlier on Sunday, the two parties to the armed conflict in Sudan, army commander Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Rapid Support Forces commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo (Hemedti) announced the extension of the humanitarian truce in Sudan for an additional 72 hours from midnight, with the aim of opening humanitarian corridors and facilitating the movement of citizens and residents.
Hundreds have been killed and thousands wounded in Sudan since April 15, when a long-running power struggle between the army and the RSF flared up.
