Overview
- Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces said they accepted a US‑, UAE‑, Saudi‑ and Egypt‑backed plan for a three‑month humanitarian truce leading to talks.
- The army‑backed government has not endorsed the proposal, with senior commanders rejecting a ceasefire unless RSF withdraws from civilian areas and relinquishes weapons.
- Hours after the RSF announcement, witnesses reported drone attacks and blasts in Khartoum, Omdurman and Atbara that the army said its air defences intercepted.
- UN human rights chief Volker Turk warned there is no sign of de‑escalation and pointed to preparations for intensified hostilities, including in Kordofan.
- The RSF’s recent capture of El Fasher was followed by reports of mass killings, sexual violence and satellite evidence of mass graves, while famine and displacement surge and access for aid remains largely collapsed.
