May 21, 2023

According to Sudanese sources, the armistice agreement between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces includes the release of militants from hospitals and the repair of facilities.

The sources pointed out that the deal provided for “dual control” of land and air through satellites and drones.

The city of Jeddah is witnessing indirect talks between Sudanese army envoys and the Saudi Arabian and US sponsored Rapid Support Forces, discussing a ceasefire, the extension of the armistice and the opening of humanitarian corridors in Sudan.

Sudan has been in turmoil since fighting erupted between the army and the Rapid Support Forces in mid-April.

The fighting has killed 705 people and injured at least 5,287 people, according to the World Health Organization.

Since midnight last night, areas south and east of the city of Omdurman have been the scene of heavy and light weapon clashes between the two sides in the conflict.
