Saudi Arabia and the United States have brokered a seven-day ceasefire between Sudan’s warring factions. Representatives of both army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo signed the ceasefire agreement in Jeddah. Both leaders have agreed not to seek any military advantage before the ceasefire commences (today) Monday night at 21.45 local time.
It will be automatically renewed until the parties reach a permanent cease-fire through mechanisms that will be discussed in the coming days to achieve confidence between the parties and for more humanitarian services for the Sudanese citizen; said Ali Jafar, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Sudan, who took initiative to broker the truce. In the past, such agreements were entered into; but not adhered to. Reports indicate that even after the latest ceasefire, air strikes and artillery exchanges took place in Khartoum on Saturday. Also, it is reported that armed men ransacked the Qatari embassy.
