The Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces have agreed to prolong their ceasefire for another 72 hours, in spite of continuous breaches on both sides. The truce extension was confirmed by both parties, with the army stating that the United States and Saudi Arabia mediated in the matter. The RSF tweeted that they unanimously agreed to extend the human truce period for 72 hours to make possible the opening of humanitarian corridors and the ease citizens' access to aid.

The de facto leader of Sudan, Abdel Fattah Burhan, who heads the military, has been in a power tussle with his previous deputy, Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, who runs the RSF. The fighting, which began on 15th April, has been ongoing in the Khartoum region; so far, over 425 civilians have been killed, and another 2,091 have been injured. Ongoing violence has prompted the United Nations to dispatch its top humanitarian envoy to the area.
