The leaders of Sudan's army and paramilitary group the Rapid Support forces have agreed to a temporary ceasefire after two days of fighting.
As we reported earlier, the army and the rival RSF militia have agreed to a brief humanitarian pause in the fighting that erupted on Saturday - it has about an hour left to run.
The aim of the "humanitarian" pause is to allow the escape of the tens of thousands of civilians who have been trapped in their homes as fighting rages around them.
It is also to enable the injured to get to hospital.
It is unlikely the warring sides will pay much attention to the chorus of international voices calling for an end to the violence.
The head of the RSF militia says Sudan's leader Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan is a criminal who must surrender.
The army says there will be no negotiations until the RSF is dissolved.
Sudan's doctors' union said at least 57 people have been killed as result of the fighting.
The World Food Programme temporarily halted humanitarian work in Sudan after three staff were killed.
The deaths happened during violence in Kabkabiya in North Darfur and two other workers were injured.
The RSF says it controls key sites in the capital but Sudan's leader - and head of the military - has rejected its claim.
The African Union, leading Arab states and the US have called for an end to the fighting and a resumption of talks aimed at restoring a civilian government.
