Iran Press/ Africa: The Sudanese Army has said that it agreed on a proposal by the UN to open safe passage for humanitarian cases, for a period of three hours, starting from 4:00 p.m. local time (1400 GMT).
"The Sudanese Armed Forces has agreed on a proposal by the UN to open safe passage for humanitarian cases, for three hours, starting from 4:00 p.m.," the general command of the Sudanese Army said in a statement on Sunday.
Violent clashes erupted on Saturday between the Sudanese Army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the capital Khartoum and other cities, where the two sides traded accusations of initiating the conflict.
The tension between the two military forces has escalated since Wednesday in the Merowe region in northern Sudan, after the RSF moved military vehicles to a location near the military air base there, a move that the Army considered illegal.
Earlier, in a statement, the African Union Commission called for an end to the fighting between the army and the Rapid Support militia in Sudan, news sources reported early Sunday. 219
