Overview

  • RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo declared an immediate three‑month humanitarian truce in a recorded address, with no confirmation from the army that it would reciprocate.
  • Gen. Abdel‑Fattah Burhan called the Quad’s proposal “the worst yet,” accused mediators of bias linked to the UAE, and singled out U.S. adviser Massad Boulos as an obstacle to peace.
  • The Quad plan envisions a three‑month humanitarian pause followed by a nine‑month political process, but a U.S. envoy said neither side has formally accepted the text.
  • The UAE rejected Burhan’s stance as obstructive and reiterated calls for an unconditional ceasefire, while denying allegations it arms the RSF.
  • Rights group Amnesty International reported RSF war crimes in el‑Fasher, as the U.N. counts more than 40,000 killed and over 14 million displaced with parts of Darfur in famine.
