U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the warring Sudanese generals agreed to a three-day ceasefire starting Tuesday after further failed attempts to pause the conflict.
The fighting that began on 15 April between the Sudanese army and the FAR followed weeks of tension over a reform of the security forces. Dozens of countries have withdrawn their diplomatic staff in Sudan in recent days, including the United States, which also deployed two military ships in the Red Sea on Monday to evacuate U.S., citizens.
