CAIRO (Reuters) - The head of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces said on Thursday that the faction remained ready to implement a nationwide ceasefire in its war with the army and allow for the delivery of humanitarian aid.

General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, commonly known as Hemedti, made the comments in a recorded message addressed to the United Nations General Assembly, following a speech to the body by the head of Sudan’s army.
