The commander of the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan, Lieutenant General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, "Hemedti" announced a 48-hour truce unilaterally for the two days of standing at Arafah and Eid.


Hamidti said in an audio recording he posted today (Monday) on ((Facebook)), "This war was imposed on us, not against the Sudanese army, but against the remnants of the former regime."


Hemedti announced the formation of a committee and a field court to resolve any violations against citizens, and said, "We are following with interest the violations against civilians, and they will be dealt with firmly."


The commander of the Rapid Support Forces expressed his readiness to provide protection and assistance to the Sudanese people, and said, "We have begun to cooperate with the citizens to confront any escape by all parties."


The Sudanese army did not issue any comment on the truce announced by the Rapid Support Commander.


Since April 15, Sudan has been witnessing armed confrontations between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in the capital, Khartoum, and other cities.


The clashes killed more than 3,000 people and injured more than 6,000 others, according to the Sudanese Ministry of Health.


According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the number of people who fled Sudan more than two months ago has exceeded 500,000, while two million people have been internally displaced.
