The warring sides in the Sudan conflict bowed to international pressure and said Sunday that the cease-fire agreement that was set to expire at midnight would be extended for another 72 hours. It was established by the two warring factions to allow people safe passage and to open up a means for the country to receive humanitarian aid, but the violence continued. Britain’s government announced Sunday that it was offering an additional evacuation flight for its nationals in war-torn Sudan. A late Saturday flight out of Wadi Seidna Airport had been set to be the last flight out of the African country for British nationals. The conflict between Sudan’s military and a paramilitary group broke out on April 15.
