Overview
- The Rapid Support Forces said they accepted a Quad proposal for a three‑month humanitarian pause leading to talks, but the Sudanese army has withheld agreement and conditioned any truce on RSF withdrawal from civilian areas and disarmament.
- Explosions and drone activity were reported over army‑held Khartoum, Omdurman and Atbara after the RSF signaled openness to the truce, with the military saying air defenses intercepted the attacks.
- Independent researchers and aid agencies report mass killings in El Fasher following the RSF takeover, including hundreds killed at a hospital and satellite evidence consistent with mass graves, as Doctors Without Borders warns vast numbers remain unaccounted for.
- The war has displaced nearly 12 million people, famine has been confirmed in El Fasher and nearby camps, and aid groups describe blocked access, mass starvation and communications blackouts.
- U.S. intelligence and U.N. experts cite weapons flows to the RSF from networks linked to the UAE, which denies backing, while Egypt is accused of supporting the army as mediators press both sides to accept the humanitarian truce.
