Sudan’s RSF backs US-Arab ceasefire plan

In a significant development for Sudan’s devastating civil war, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has agreed to a ceasefire proposal brokered by the United States, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates.

This deal proposes a three-month humanitarian truce to be followed by a permanent ceasefire and a transition to civilian rule. The announcement arrives as the nation faces a catastrophic hunger crisis, with famine declared in parts of Darfur.

However, a critical hurdle remains, as the Sudanese military government has yet to respond to the proposal. This diplomatic breakthrough comes amid mounting international pressure on the UAE, accused of supplying arms to the RSF—an allegation it strongly denies.
