The Sudanese army and the RSF militia signed another lull agreement on Saturday in the conflict that has been raging since April. Arab media reported.
Sources told the Qatari Al-Jazeera network that the two sides in the conflict had signed a seven-day humanitarian lull agreement in the Saudi city of Jeddah that would be open for extension. According to the sources, an announcement will be issued in the near future that will include the details of the agreement for a humanitarian hudna. According to them, great efforts have been invested in talks between the delegations in Jeddah in order to reach a solution to the crisis.
Since the conflict erupted in April over disputes over the time frame for the militia to be integrated into the military, both sides have accused each other of violating ceasefires. The same happened in the case of the previous ceasefire recently agreed upon in Jeddah.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke by phone on Saturday with Sudanese military chief and de facto ruler Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. The two discussed efforts to achieve a ceasefire.
Earlier this month, the World Health Organization said more than 600 people had already been killed in fighting in Sudan. The organization added that more than 5,000 people were injured. Tens of thousands of other people fled their homes and fled to neighboring countries.
