In violence-hit Sudan, both generals have agreed to a 72-hour ceasefire. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave this information. This ceasefire is going to happen after about 10 days of fighting, hundreds of deaths and exodus of a large number of foreigners. Even before this, an attempt was made to have a ceasefire in both the sides but it failed. Blinken announced that after 48 hours of intense negotiations, the Sudan Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces have agreed to a nationwide ceasefire. This ceasefire will start from the midnight of 24 April and last for the next 72 hours.

According to the United Nations agency, so far 427 people have died and more than 3700 people have been injured in the violence in Sudan. The dead included an official at the Egyptian embassy in Khartoum who came under attack while returning home from his office. So far, more than 4 thousand people from different countries have been safely evacuated from Sudan. At the same time, residents of Sudan have also migrated in large numbers to Chad, Egypt and South Sudan. People are facing shortage of water, food and medicines.

Explain that since the coup of the joint government of civilians and the army in October 2021, there was tension between the army (SAF) and the paramilitary force (RSF). The army is headed by General Abdel Fateh al-Burhan and the RSF is commanded by Hamdan Dagalo, ie Hemedti. The army and the RSF were running the country together through a sovereign council. Recently, considering the RSF jawans as a threat to themselves, the army started a new system in the past, changing the system of deployment of RSF jawans, for which the RSF jawans expressed their displeasure. Gradually this resentment turned into violence and the fight started.
