This news comes from senior Biden administration officials who have been closely monitoring the situation.<\/p>\n<h3>The Toll of the Fighting<\/h3>\n<p>The fighting, which began in mid-April, has left civilians caught in the crossfire. The World Health Organization reports that over 600 people have been killed and more than 5,000 injured. Western countries, including the United States, have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/european-union-wont-follow-us-on-evacuating-embassy-personnel-in-ukraine\/\" title=\"European Union Won\u2019t Follow US On Evacuating Embassy Personnel In Ukraine\">evacuating embassy personnel<\/a> and foreign nationals from the capital of Khartoum.<\/p>\n<h3>The Agreement<\/h3>\n<p>The agreement, concluded on Thursday, recognizes the obligations of both sides under international humanitarian and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-cdc-director-says-covid-19-immunity-passports-could-help-u-s-get-back-to-new-normal\/\" title=\"Former CDC Director Says COVID-19 \u2018Immunity Passports\u2019 Could Help U.S. Get \u2018Back To New Normal\u2019\">human rights law<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/warring-sides-in-sudan-sign-declaration-of-commitment-to-protect-the-civilians-us-says\/\" title=\"Sudanese factions sign pledge to safeguard civilians, according to US.\">facilitate humanitarian action<\/a> to meet the needs of civilians. However, this is not a ceasefire. The next step will be a short-term ceasefire, not a permanent cessation of hostilities.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/press-secy-psaki-goal-to-open-majority-of-schools-by-april\/\" title=\"Press Secy Psaki: Goal to open majority of schools by April\">administration hopes<\/a> that this agreement will create momentum that will force the two sides to create space for relief efforts. While full compliance is not expected, the agreement is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<h3>American Citizens in Sudan<\/h3>\n<p>The Department of State reports that the U.S. government has assisted in the departure of nearly 1,000 American citizens since the beginning of the crisis. There are roughly 16,000 Americans in Sudan, many of whom are dual citizens. The Biden administration has warned that this number is inexact because the State Department does not track Americans living abroad.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The situation in Sudan remains tense, but this agreement is a positive development. It is important that both sides continue to work towards protecting civilians and creating space for relief efforts. The international community will be watching closely to ensure that progress is made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The two warring sides in Sudan have agreed to sign a declaration affirming their commitment to protect civilians, according to senior Biden administration officials.
