RSF Backs U.S.-Arab Truce Plan as Blasts Reported Near Khartoum and Army Sets Conditions

Sudan’s military has withheld assent, saying any pause requires RSF withdrawals from cities plus disarmament.

Overview

  • The Rapid Support Forces said it accepts a three‑month humanitarian truce proposed by the U.S., Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, calling for talks to follow.
  • The Sudanese Armed Forces have not agreed to the proposal, with officials insisting the RSF must leave populated areas and give up weapons before any ceasefire.
  • Hours after the RSF announcement, witnesses reported explosions and drone activity near Khartoum and in Atbara, and doctors said RSF shelling damaged a hospital in Dilling, South Kordofan.
  • Following the RSF capture of El Fasher on Oct. 26, independent monitors and aid agencies reported mass killings, the WHO cited more than 460 slain at a hospital, and Yale analysts flagged sites consistent with fresh mass graves.
  • U.N. agencies describe a catastrophic crisis with roughly 12 million displaced and tens of millions needing aid, while outside backing persists, including U.S. and U.N. reports alleging UAE arms for the RSF and longstanding Egyptian support for the army.
