Overview
- RSF said it agreed to a humanitarian ceasefire proposed by the U.S., Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, framing it as a step to enable aid delivery.
- A Sudanese military official said the army will only join a truce if RSF withdraws from civilian areas and relinquishes weapons, so no mutual ceasefire is in place.
- Fresh satellite analysis by Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab indicates mass burials in El Fasher this week, consistent with efforts to dispose of large numbers of bodies.
- International Criminal Court prosecutors say they are collecting evidence of alleged mass killings and rapes, with restricted access and burials complicating accountability.
- UN agencies report famine conditions and large-scale displacement from El Fasher, and at least 40 civilians killed in an attack on a funeral in el-Obeid as fighting spreads in Kordofan.
