Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) says it has agreed to a 24-hour ceasefire, starting at 6pm local time on Wednesday.
"We confirm our full commitment to a complete ceasefire, and we hope the other party will abide by the ceasefire according to the announced time," the RSF said in a statement.
Sudan's army is yet to confirm whether it will abide by the proposed truce.
Yesterday, both parties announced that they had agreed to a day-long armistice in order to evacuate civilians, but that was shattered by the sound of warplanes, gunshots and tank fire. Each side accused the other of breaking the truce.
