Sudanese paramilitary group agrees to humanitarian truce proposed by US-led mediators
The Rapid Support Forces agreed to a U.S.-led ceasefire to ease a crisis affecting over 24 million facing acute food insecurity, aiming to protect civilians and deliver aid.
- The Rapid Support Forces accepted a U.S.-led humanitarian truce proposed by the Quad on Thursday, following its seizure of el-Fasher city over a week earlier.
- Amid a war that began in April 2023, more than 14 million people have been displaced and the World Health Organization reports at least 40,000 deaths, while over 24 million face acute food insecurity.
- Mediators known as the Quad proposed the deal after nearly 10 days of negotiations, and Massad Boulos said it starts with a three-month humanitarian truce followed by a nine-month political process.
- It remains uncertain whether the army will accept the deal as currently proposed, as the Sudanese military demands RSF withdrawal from civilian areas and weapon surrender while the RSF is open to cessation talks.
- Humanitarian groups report escalating atrocities and displacement, including over 450 killed at a hospital and more than 70,000 fleeing el-Fasher in one week to Al-Affad camp, while 83% of families lack enough food.
