Saudi Arabia and US Encourage Sudanese Parties to Extend Humanitarian Truce
Saudi Arabia and the US are urging Sudan's warring parties to work on extending a short-term truce that is set to expire on May 29.
The truce, brokered by Saudi Arabia and the US, would allow for humanitarian assistance to the Sudanese people.
The two countries are urging the sides to continue to adhere to their obligations even if an extension deal isn't reached before May 29.
The conflict began in April as the army faced off against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, resulting in hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries or people fleeing for safety.
