Sudan fighting live news: General says committed to civilian rule
First comments on the crisis by al-Burhan come as rival RSF announces three-day ceasefire for Eid-al-Fitr holiday.
- The Sudan army’s commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has said the military is committed to a transition to civilian rule in his first speech since fighting between his armed forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) broke out last week.
- The RSF said it was ready for a 72-hour ceasefire from 6am (04:00 GMT) on Friday, but residents in the capital, Khartoum, and neighbouring cities are reporting gunfire.
