RSF Backs US-Led Humanitarian Ceasefire Proposal as Fighting Flares Near Khartoum

Overview

• The proposal was put forward by the United States with Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, and the RSF says it is ready to discuss terms for halting hostilities.
• The Sudanese Army has not publicly confirmed acceptance, though a U.S. official earlier said both sides agreed in principle with no initial objections.
• Witnesses reported overnight explosions and drone activity near Omdurman and Atbara, with no casualties immediately confirmed by either side.
• The Sudanese Doctors’ Syndicate reported an RSF strike on a hospital in Dilling on Thursday that killed five people and wounded five.
• The war has killed an estimated 150,000 people and displaced roughly 13 million, and the RSF’s late-October capture of El-Fasher has drawn ICC scrutiny over alleged atrocities.
