Sudan witnessed on Tuesday “relative stability” following the ceasefire announced by Washington between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) after 10 days of battles. The two parties agreed to a 72-hour ceasefire on Tuesday as Arab, Western, and Asian countries raced against time to evacuate their nationals from the war-torn country. The agreement was first announced by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who said it came after two days of intensive negotiations. The RSF in Khartoum confirmed their agreement to a ceasefire from midnight to facilitate humanitarian efforts. “We confirm our commitment during the period of the declared truce to a complete ceasefire,” it said.
