Sudanese Rapid Support Forces enter three-month

The Sudanese Rapid Support Forces said late on Monday that they might immediately enter into a three-month humanitarian truce. The announcement comes after President Donald Trump said last week that he would intervene to search an end to the warfare in Sudan that has killed tens of 1000’s and pressured the nation into famine.

The U.S., the UAE, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, collectively recognized as the Quad, earlier this month proposed a plan for a three-month truce adopted by peace talks. 

Monday’s assertion appeared to announce a unilateral ceasefire a day after Sudan’s military chief rejected the Quad’s proposals. The Sudanese Army has accused the UAE of arming the RSF. 

The UAE has denied the accusations and said it goals to stop the warfare. “In response to international efforts, chiefly that of His Excellency U.S. President Donald Trump … I announce a humanitarian ceasefire including a cessation of hostilities for three months,” General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the top of RSF, said in a speech on Monday.

“We hope the Quad countries will play their role in pushing the other side to engage with this step,” Dagalo added

The warfare in Sudan broke out in April 2023 as the RSF and Sudanese Army disagreed on integrating the 2 teams, plunging the nation into famine, killing tens of 1000’s of civilians.

Dagalo, also recognized as Hameedi, made the feedback at a time when RSF had carried out brutal assaults on civilians after taking over the town of al-Fashir in late October. 

General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan’s military chief, accused the U.S. proposal of aiming to weaken the Sudanese military while permitting the RSF to preserve the territory it has seized. 

“No one in Sudan will accept the presence of these rebels or for them to be part of any solution in the future,” Burhan said.
