Overview
- Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces said they agreed to a Quad-backed proposal for a humanitarian truce, days after seizing El Fasher and consolidating control over Darfur.
- Witness accounts and UN-linked analyses describe mass killings, sexual violence and suspected mass graves in El Fasher, with WHO reporting at least 460 people killed at a maternity hospital.
- The International Criminal Court says it is collecting evidence of alleged mass killings, rapes and other crimes as satellite imagery indicates systematic body disposal.
- A Sudanese military official signaled the army would accept a truce only if RSF withdraws from civilian areas and gives up weapons, while mediators envision an initial three‑month pause leading to a political process.
- Conflict is spreading beyond Darfur, with OCHA citing at least 40 civilians killed in an attack on a funeral in El Obeid, as access constraints persist and tens of thousands flee El Fasher in worsening famine conditions.
