UK is 'pushing hard' for ceasefire extension in Sudan, says James Cleverly

The UK is “pushing hard” for an extension to the ceasefire in Sudan, the Foreign Secretary said, appealing directly to the generals on either side of the conflict.

James Cleverly told the Commons: “With regard to an extension of the ceasefire, we are pushing hard for that and we are amplifying the voices of those in the region, and more widely, that this is in the best interests of Sudan.

“I would say here at the despatch box for either of the generals who might be watching this statement, that if they aspire to be the leader of Sudan, demonstrating a willingness to protect the people of Sudan would be a very important starting point.”
