(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The US on Tuesday welcomed the Sudan Revolutionary Front's announcement that it will commit to a six-month ceasefire, and urged the Sudanese government to do the same.
"We urge both parties to commit to a six month cessation of hostilities and to begin working in earnest to turn these announcements into a sustainable end to Sudan's conflicts," State Department Spokesperson John Kirby said in a statement.
"If respected by all parties of the conflict, a cessation of hostilities would provide an enabling environment for a genuine dialogue to address the underlying causes of the political strife and armed conflict that have plagued Sudan for far too long. A suspension of fighting would also open the door for desperately needed humanitarian assistance," he said.
"We call on all parties to immediately facilitate unfettered humanitarian access to all populations in need. There is no military solution to Sudan's conflicts," he affirmed. "The United States calls on all parties at conflict in Sudan to seize this opportunity to end the wars and find a path towards lasting peace".
