Overview
- Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces said they accepted a Quartet plan for a three‑month humanitarian pause intended to open aid access and lead to talks on a permanent ceasefire.
- The army-backed government has not endorsed the proposal, with senior commanders signaling rejection and insisting on RSF withdrawal from civilian areas and surrender of weapons.
- Hours after the RSF’s announcement, witnesses reported drone-linked blasts in Khartoum’s Omdurman and in Atbara, which the army said its air defenses intercepted.
- The UN rights office reported escalating “unimaginable” abuses in el-Fasher following the RSF takeover, while WHO-cited reports and satellite analyses point to hospital killings and activity consistent with mass graves.
- Humanitarian agencies confirm famine conditions in parts of Darfur and Kordofan, mass displacement toward towns like Tawila, and analysts warn the RSF may eye El-Obeid despite talk of a truce.
