Sudan's rival generals have agreed a 24-hour ceasefire, following four days of intense fighting in the capital Khartoum and other towns. The country's de facto leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, told CNN the ceasefire would start at 1800GMT. Some elements of the army have denied this. The head of the rival Rapid Support Forces, General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, said he approved the ceasefire to ensure the evacuation of wounded civilians.
