Sudanese army says it is willing to extend the ceasefire

Sudan’s army has expressed willingness to extend the three-day ceasefire for another 72 hours, which was due to expire late on Thursday.

General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the Sudanese army general, said on Wednesday that it gave initial approval to a plan to extend the truce for another 72 hours. Sudan’s army said that the leader also agreed to send an army envoy to South Sudan for talks.

On Monday, the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan agreed to a 72-hour ceasefire. The three-day ceasefire came into effect on Tuesday. It is due to expire late on Thursday.

The United States brokered the ceasefire between the two rivals. Antony Blinken, United States Secretary of State, lauded the ceasefire. It came after 10 days of intense fighting between the two groups.

The Sudanese military said that the presidents of South Sudan, Kenya and Djibouti were working on a proposal to extend the ceasefire and talks between the two groups in Sudan. The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), an eight-country trade bloc in the African continent, sent the proposal to extend the ceasefire. Rapid Support Forces (RSF) did not respond to the proposal. However, the Sudanese army expressed an initial approval of the proposal.

The Sudanese army said in a statement, “Burhan thanked the IGAD and expressed an initial approval to that.”

Antony Blinken and African Union Commission chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat also discussed the ways to end the conflict in Sudan. The US state department said in a statement on Wednesday that they would create a sustainable end to the fighting.

The fighting erupted on April 15. It killed at least 512 people, injured nearly 4,200 people and destroyed infrastructure. Many people also fled Sudan due to the recent fighting.

Many countries also launched emergency missions to help people in Sudan.

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities.

"That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees."
