Sudan Ceasefire Deployed for Humanitarian Access in Khartoum

Sudan’s armed forces and the Emergency Response Forces, also known as the Special Forces, announced a short humanitarian ceasefire lasting three to four hours. The move was reported by Reuters, citing the United Nations mission operating in the country. Officials indicated that the ceasefire proposal originated from the UN and was designed to allow civilians to access essential aid and safer corridors amid the ongoing violence. The agreed window for the pause was set from 16:00 to 19:00 local time, which corresponds to 17:00 to 20:00 in Moscow time. An eyewitness in Khartoum confirmed that active fighting paused during the period, though sporadic gunfire could still be heard in some areas. The ceasefire aimed to reduce immediate harm and provide a momentary respite for hospitals, relief workers, and civilians caught in the city’s urban landscape.
