Sudan's warring army and Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group have agreed to a 72-hour cease-fire, US State Secretary Antony Blinken said on Monday evening.
The coordination would help create a committee to oversee a permanent cease-fire agreement, as well as humanitarian arrangements in the country. Israel and Sudan finalized last February a deal normalizing ties, turning the page on decades of Sudanese animosity toward Israel. Guterres' speech came as the UN continued its evacuation efforts outside of the conflict torn country.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said over 400 should be evacuated after the final plane lands. "Further evacuation flights are planned, so long as the security situation permits it," the Foreign Ministry said. "We have our troops in foreign countries where we have military bases and this is quite good coordinated and we have a somehow cooperative relationship with the parties which are fighting this civil war in Sudan. They seem to be helpful and do not disturb us with evacuation. So this time it looks much better than in Kabul.".
