Overview
- RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo declared a three-month humanitarian pause, pledging to protect aid convoys, allow access for relief workers, and accept on-the-ground monitoring by the Quartet, the African Union, and IGAD.
- Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan rejected the U.S.-led proposal as biased and "the worst document yet," alleging mediator partiality and singling out U.S. envoy Massad Boulos and the United Arab Emirates.
- The army conditioned any truce on a full RSF withdrawal from civilian areas to enable displaced residents to return before entering political talks.
- The United Nations called for an immediate ceasefire and an end to arms flows as Sudan faces one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with tens of thousands killed and more than 14 million displaced.
- Reporting has cited U.S. intelligence assessments that the UAE supplied weapons to the RSF, a claim the UAE denies, intensifying disputes over the neutrality of the mediation.
