US EditionSudan’s Military Accepts UN Proposal of a Weeklong Ceasefire in El Fasher for Aid Distribution
- Sudan's Sovereign Council announced on Friday that General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan agreed to a seven-day ceasefire in El-Fasher to allow humanitarian aid delivery.
- The ceasefire proposal was made after UN Secretary-General António Guterres contacted General Burhan, as fighting intensified since mid-April 2023 between Sudan’s military forces and the RSF.
- The city serving as the administrative center of North Darfur and a key location for humanitarian aid has faced ongoing assaults and has been surrounded by the RSF since May 2023, despite warnings from the international community.
- The conflict has caused over 20,000 deaths, displaced 14 million people, and pushed parts of Sudan, including Darfur, toward famine and collapsing health services.
- The ceasefire's start date remains unspecified, and the RSF has not confirmed compliance, leaving uncertainty about the truce's effectiveness for aid delivery to besieged civilians.
