RSF Declares Three-Month Ceasefire in Sudan as Army Chief Rejects US-Backed Plan

Accusations of Emirati bias have stalled the mediators' roadmap.

Overview

  • RSF leader Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo announced a unilateral three-month humanitarian truce, citing international efforts led by President Donald Trump.
  • General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan condemned the draft from the United States, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE as the “worst” yet and said any ceasefire requires RSF withdrawal from seized cities.
  • The mediators’ proposal envisions a three-month pause in fighting followed by a nine-month political process, according to US adviser Massad Boulos.
  • Despite RSF statements of support, reports describe continued hostilities, including recent strikes and new displacement in Kordofan.
  • UN agencies and rights groups highlight a worsening crisis, with WHO estimating at least 40,000 dead and about 12 million displaced and Amnesty reporting executions and mass rape in Al-Fashir attributed to RSF fighters.
