Sudan's paramilitary forces agree to proposal of humanitarian truce

Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said Thursday that it has agreed to "enter into the humanitarian truce" proposed by the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

The truce aims to "address the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of the war and enhance the protection of civilians," RSF spokesperson Al-Fateh Qurashi said in a statement. "RSF look forward to implementing the agreement and immediately beginning discussions on arrangements for a cessation of hostilities," he said.

According to leaked details, the proposal envisions a three-month humanitarian truce to allow aid access, followed by a nine-month political process aimed at achieving a comprehensive settlement and a permanent ceasefire.
