Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The Sudan ![]() ese Rapid Reaction Force (RRF) has begun preparations for a ceasefire and is open to negotiations with the country's army, according to the RRF declaration published on January 2."The rapid reaction forces have begun preparations for the immediate cessation of hostile actions without preconditions through direct negotiations with the Sudanese armed forces," RIA Novosti quotes the text of the declaration. The leaders of the RRF agreed to release 451 citizens who had previously been captured and allowed to open corridors for the delivery of humanitarian aid ![]() The RRF, together with civil associations of Sudan, intend to create a national committee to protect the population in areas of the country affected by hostilities, the declaration also says. As Regnum reported earlier, as a result of the armed conflict in Sudan, which began in the spring of 2023, in the first days more than 600 people were killed and at least 5,000 people were maimed. The number of internally displaced persons was estimated at seven million. At the end of May 2023, the warring parties, the army and the rapid reaction forces, agreed to a humanitarian truce ..The purposes of a truce are twofold: 1.) bring up more arms, ammunition, and reinforcements; and 2.) get the enemy to relax his vigilance. A truceis not the same thing as a ceasefire, and a ceasefiredoesn't mean you have to stop shooting... , but subsequently the festivities resumed. Some of the employees of the Russian Embassy in Sudan, as well as citizens of the Russian Federation who made a corresponding request, were evacuated from Sudan. |
