In a bid to alleviate the plight of civilians caught in the crossfire, traditional leaders in Sudan’s West Kordofan state have brokered a temporary ceasefire between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the town of Babanusa.

The truce, initiated on Wednesday, aims to facilitate the safe evacuation of civilians trapped in Babanusa, which has been the epicentre of intense fighting between the two rival forces since January 22.
