Sudan’s military agreed to a proposal from the United Nations for a weeklong ceasefire in El Fasher, according to sources close to the situation.
This decision comes as the country continues to reel from intensified conflicts that have displaced millions and pushed parts of the nation into famine.
The agreement also includes provisions for the implementation of relevant UN Security Council resolutions, although it remains unclear if the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) will follow suit.
