CAIRO: The Sudanese army today approved a proposal from the United Nations to open a safe passage for urgent humanitarian cases for three hours every day starting from 4pm local time, the army said in a statement.
The army confirmed however that it will reserve the right to react if “the rebellious militia commits any violations”.
Earlier on Sunday, the United Nations’ World Food Programme said it had temporarily halted all operations in Sudan after three of its employees were killed in clashes between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces a day earlier.
