US urges Sudan ceasefire extension amidst humanitarian concerns.

The Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have agreed to extend the ceasefire for another 72 hours, mediated by the US and Saudi Arabia. The existing truce, which was set to expire midnight Thursday, did not put a stop to the fighting but did allow people to flee to safer areas and for countries to carry out evacuations. Governments from around the world have been racing to bring home their embassy staff and citizens from Sudan by road, air and sea.
