[HIGHLIGHTS] In light of the African and international movements. Is the end of the conflict in Sudan approaching? What explains the contradiction between the army and the Sudanese Foreign Ministry?

The Sudanese Foreign Ministry denied the validity of the armed forces' negotiations with the Rapid Support Forces. The Sudanese army confirmed the initial approval of its commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan to an initiative submitted by IGAD.

IGAD's proposals include extending the truce for an additional 72 hours; the initiative also includes sending representatives of the forces to Juba to negotiate. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed his hope to receive more information on the truce in Sudan in the coming hours.
