US EditionSudan's Paramilitary Group Agrees on Truce Proposed by US-Led Mediator Group
The Rapid Support Forces ended an 18-month siege that caused famine and mass killings, with thousands reportedly killed, including nearly 500 at El Fasher's hospital.
- Last week, the Rapid Support Forces seized control of El Fasher in Darfur, cutting communications and hindering independent reporting while Abdul Rahim Dagalo and other commanders oversaw operations.
- An 18-month RSF siege had tightened around El Fashir, with shelling and aid denial creating famine and a high berm trapping about a quarter-million residents.

- Diplomacy continued even as observers flagged Emirati backing of the RSF, while killings occurred during US‑sponsored talks and the UN and AU proved unable to act.
