Overview

  • Army chief Gen. Abdel‑Fattah al‑Burhan rejected the U.S.-backed proposal as “the worst yet,” accused mediators of bias—citing the UAE’s role—and demanded RSF withdrawal from civilian areas before any truce.
  • RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo announced an immediate three‑month unilateral truce, but the army has not agreed and previous RSF claims of acceptance were followed by renewed attacks.
  • Massad Boulos urged both sides to accept the plan without preconditions and said Burhan’s criticisms misrepresented the proposal, while confirming no formal acceptance by either camp.
  • Fresh reports point to a fragile pause, with the army saying it repelled an RSF assault on Babanusa and an NGO alleging mass abductions in South Kordofan hours after the RSF’s pledge.
  • Amnesty International reported RSF war crimes in el‑Fasher as the UN‑tracked toll from the war surpassed 40,000 dead and more than 14 million displaced, intensifying calls for accountability and access.
