The paramilitary force battling Sudan’s army has tweeted that it has agreed to a 24-hour ceasefire to start at 18:00 local time (16:00 GMT).
“We confirm our full commitment to a complete ceasefire, and we hope the other party will abide by the ceasefire according to the announced time,” the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said in its tweet in Arabic.
It is not clear if the army has agreed to the ceasefire. Both sides had said they would abide by a 24-hour humanitarian truce on Tuesday.
It was also to start at 18:00 local time – just before Muslims break their Ramadan fast – but heavy fighting continued, especially around the army headquarters in the centre of the city.
