Today, the Sudanese Armed Forces announced the approval of extending the 72-hour truce, which was scheduled to end by midnight, and its renewal for another 72 hours, starting with the end of the current truce. The Sudanese army said in a statement on its official page on the social networking site Facebook:" Based on the endeavors made by the Saudi and American sides to contribute to calming the situation and extending the truce to create appropriate conditions for evacuating residents of various nationalities, and facilitating the humanitarian aspects for our citizens, the Armed Forces Command agreed to extend the truce that was proposed for an additional 72 hours, effective from the date of the end of the current truce.". Earlier today, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced that the United States is working to extend the cease-fire in Sudan, which ends at midnight today, noting that the recent armistice reduced violence and helped complete air evacuations. Last Monday, the US Secretary of State announced the agreement of the two parties to the conflict in Sudan to a cease-fire for a period of three days. The Rapid Support Forces also announced their agreement to the first truce in order to open humanitarian corridors, facilitate the movement of citizens and residents, enable them to meet their needs, reach hospitals and safe areas, and evacuate diplomatic missions.
