“The armed forces hope that the rebels will abide by all the requirements of the truce and stop any military moves that would obstruct it,” the statement says.
Several previous agreements for 24-hour humanitarian ceasefires have been flouted this week.
Earlier on Friday the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said it had agreed to an Eid ceasefire.
