Rubio pushes for New Year’s humanitarian truce in Sudan

WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday that the new year offered a chance for a humanitarian truce in war-ravaged Sudan as he urged outside countries to exert leverage. “Ninety-nine percent of our focus is this humanitarian truce and achieving that as soon as possible,” Rubio told a news conference. “And we think that the new year and the upcoming holidays are a great opportunity for both sides to agree to that, and we’re really pushing very hard on that regard,” he said.
