Sudan ceasefire expected to end tonight – UK foreign secretary

UK Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly, has stated that the three-day ceasefire in Sudan is still scheduled to end tonight.

Speaking in the Commons this afternoon, Cleverly urged people who wanted to leave to head straight to the airport.

“The ceasefire is due to elapse at midnight local time and no-one – can predict the situation on the ground after that,” he said.

“We’re encouraging those who wish to travel to make their way to the airport today.

“We will continue to engage with our international partners to attempt to extend the ceasefire and bring a permanent end to the violence.”
