The Security and Defence Council -- a high-level body that includes officials from the army and the allied government -- "is holding a meeting today to discuss the US-Saudi initiative for a humanitarian truce and a ceasefire", the source said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to brief the media.

Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces carried out mass killings in Darfur and attempted to conceal them with mass graves, the International Criminal Court's deputy prosecutor said on Monday.
In a briefing to the UN Security Council, Nazhat Shameem Khan said it was the "assessment of the office of the prosecutor that war crimes and crimes against humanity" had been committed in the RSF's takeover of the city of El-Fasher in October.
"Our work has been indicative of mass killing events and attempts to conceal crimes through the establishment of mass graves," Khan said in a video address, citing audio and video evidence as well as satellite imagery.
