Two-year curfew lifted in Sudan's capital

In a statement, the foreign ministry said it "affirms that the Sudanese army fulfils its constitutional duty to defend Sudan's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and to confront the threats facing the country, while remaining committed to respecting the sovereignty of neighbouring states and refraining from targeting their territories".Sudan accuses Chad of permitting the passage of RSF military supplies delivered by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through its airports and border crossings.The UAE and Chad deny the allegations despite similar findings by UN experts and investigative reports by international media.The attack on the Chadian convoy prompted the US Senior Adviser for Arab and African Affairs, Massad Boulos to express "deep concern" about the risk of Sudan's war threatening regional peace and stability.Boulos has been urging the parties to immediately accept a humanitarian truce. He has grown increasingly frustrated with the Sudanese military, which refuses to engage in a peace process unless the RSF disarms and withdraws from the territory it has occupied."The United States condemns the SAF's recent air strikes inside Chad," Boulos wrote in a post on X. "There is no military solution to this conflict - and absolutely no justification for expanding the violence beyond Sudan's borders."External financial and military support to the warring parties must stop," he added.This month the US envoy presented a draft resolution to the UN Security Council that would extend a 2005 weapons embargo on Darfur - the stronghold of the RSF - across the entire country and include a ban on attack drones, which are increasingly used by both sides.
