Sudan: warring parties agree ceasefire

Previous ceasefires were broken by both warring sides. However, according to the report, this agreement will be monitored by the United States, Saudi Arabia and through a monitoring mechanism set up by both countries and supported internationally without providing details, the Reuters news agency reported. Both warring sides have also pledged not to pursue a military advantage in the hours leading up to the ceasefire.
