Sudan Army Appreciates Trump Truce, Promises to Continue Fighting

Sudan’s defence minister said on Tuesday that the army would press on with fighting the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces after the country’s security and defence council met to discuss a US proposal for a ceasefire. “We thank the Trump administration for its efforts and proposals to achieve peace,” Hassan Kabroun said in a speech broadcast on state television, adding that “preparations for the Sudanese people’s battle are ongoing. Our preparations for war are a legitimate national right,” he said, following the council meeting in Khartoum. No details of the US truce proposal have been made public. (DAWN)
