For her part, British government spokeswoman Rosie Diaz called on the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces to immediately stop all combat operations and return to dialogue. The British government spokeswoman in the Middle East and North Africa said, on her Twitter account, that the military escalation in Sudan "is not the solution." And I considered it very important that the two sides abide by the 24-hour humanitarian pause to allow civilians access to medical care and basic supplies.
