Overview

  • Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan called the U.S.-backed Quad proposal the “worst yet,” accusing mediators of bias and insisting the RSF pull out of civilian areas before any pause or political talks.
  • RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo announced an immediate, unilateral three-month humanitarian truce and urged Quad countries to press the army to engage.
  • The UAE, which Burhan accuses of backing the RSF, rejected his claims and criticized his refusal to accept a ceasefire; Abu Dhabi has denied arming the paramilitaries.
  • U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres urged an immediate cessation of hostilities, safe humanitarian access, and an end to the flow of weapons and fighters into Sudan.
  • Rights reporting intensified as Amnesty International alleged RSF war crimes in El Fasher, while the war’s toll has reached tens of thousands killed and more than 14 million displaced.
