Saudi Arabia and the United States have brokered a seven-day ceasefire between Sudan’s warring groups.
It was gathered that representatives of both Army Chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former Deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, signed up to the ceasefire in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where they also agreed not to seek any military advantage before it starts on Monday.
Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Sudan, Ali Jafar said it will be automatically renewed until they reach a permanent cease-fire through mechanisms the mediators will discuss in the coming days, in order to achieve confidence between the parties and for more humanitarian services for the Sudanese citizens.
However, many ceasefires have been announced and then immediately ignored since the fighting broke out five weeks ago.
And even after this latest ceasefire was announced air strikes and artillery exchanges shook Khartoum on Saturday and armed men ransacked the Qatari embassy.
