Saudi Arabia and the United States mediated a brief ceasefire, and both sides of the Sudanese conflict pledged to abide by it
Khartoum, June 9th (Xinhua) - With the mediation of Saudi Arabia and the United States, the two sides in the Sudan conflict have reached a 24-hour ceasefire agreement, which will take effect from 6am Khartoum time on the 10th. The Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces have both pledged to abide by the ceasefire agreement.
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the 9th, stating that both parties to the conflict in Sudan have pledged to cease attacks, shelling, and airstrikes during the ceasefire period, cease the use of drones, and cease the mobilization and assembly of armed forces. The statement also emphasizes that according to the agreement, both parties to the conflict will allow humanitarian aid to freely enter and exit all regions of the country and provide assistance to this end.
The Sudanese Armed Forces immediately confirmed their commitment to a ceasefire, but stated that they reserve the right to respond to any violations by the Rapid Support Forces during the ceasefire period. The Rapid Support Force also confirmed its commitment to the ceasefire in a statement, stating that it will provide assistance for humanitarian assistance and hopes that the armed forces will fulfill their commitments and not obstruct humanitarian assistance.
The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Force continued on the 9th. Local media quoted witnesses as saying that there has been another exchange of fire near the Yermok Defense Industrial Base in the capital Khartoum. The Rapid Support Force had previously claimed control of the base on social media. Another witness said that armed forces fighter jets continued to bomb some targets in the eastern part of Khartoum, with anti-aircraft gunfire echoing one after another. In addition, shelling and intense gunfire can be heard from time to time in the northern part of Khartoum.
The conflict that has lasted for nearly two months has led to a worsening humanitarian situation in Sudan, with Khartoum and the Darfur region in western Sudan being the hardest hit, with severe shortages of public services and insufficient medical supplies in hospitals. The intense armed conflict has trapped the people, making it difficult for them to escape the conflict zone and suffering greatly. According to incomplete statistics cited by local media, the conflict has resulted in over 1800 deaths and approximately 2 million people being displaced, with over 476000 people flooding into neighboring countries.
On April 15th, armed conflict broke out in Sudan. On May 20th, the conflicting parties signed a 7-day ceasefire agreement in the Saudi Red Sea port city of Jeddah. On May 29th, both sides agreed to extend the ceasefire agreement by 5 days. Since then, the conflicting parties have continued to engage in warfare to this day.
