Jakarta, Nov. 5 -- Sudanese Ambassador to Indonesia Dr. Yassir Mohamed Ali stated that Sudan is willing to agree to a ceasefire only if the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their foreign backers surrender.

"Sudan said, OK, we can go for a ceasefire if they surrender and go out. Otherwise, we will fight them because they are fighting us," he told ANTARA on Wednesday.

Ali emphasized that Sudan is not the aggressor but is defending itself against attacks by RSF and foreign mercenaries. "You cannot talk to the government of Sudan to ceasefire because Sudan is defending itself. Sudan is not aggressive," he said.

He described the conflict as part of an "international agenda" to destabilize Sudan, not merely an internal rebellion....
