The warring parties in Sudan have agreed to a seven-day truce starting May 4, in a phone conversation with South Sudan's President Salva Kiir, the foreign ministry in Juba said Tuesday, raising hopes of an end to weeks of bloodshed. Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy turned rival, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, "have agreed in principle for a seven-day truce from May 4th to 11th," the ministry said in a statement. FRANCE 24's correspondent in Nairobi Bastien Renouil tells us more about what is the situation on the ground.
