Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) – Activists on social media circulated the terms of the Jeddah agreement between the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese army, amid debate regarding which items are considered the most important in this agreement.
On Thursday, the two Sudanese parties, in cooperation with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States of America, signed the “Jeddah Declaration”, which stipulates a commitment to protect civilians in Sudan.
The two parties also affirmed, according to the text of the declaration, “the commitment to the sovereignty of Sudan and the preservation of its unity and territorial integrity, and the agreement that the interests and safety of the Sudanese people are a major priority, and the commitment to ensure the protection of Sudanese civilians at all times, and to allow safe passage for civilians in Sudan to leave the areas of hostilities, and to refrain the recruitment and use of children in hostilities, and the evacuating of the wounded and sick without discrimination and allowing humanitarian organizations to do so.”
And the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, in a statement: “The declaration of commitment will direct the activity of the two forces to enable the safe delivery of humanitarian aid, restore basic services, withdraw forces from hospitals and clinics, and allow the dead to be buried with respect, and following the signing, the Jeddah talks will focus on reaching an agreement on an effective ceasefire.” For a period of up to approximately 10 days, in order to facilitate these activities, security measures will include a ceasefire monitoring mechanism supported by the United States of America, Saudi Arabia and the international community.
