Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Monday announced a three-month unilateral ceasefire, responding to international pressure after the Sudanese Armed Forces rejected a similar proposal a day earlier. RSF commander Gen Mohamed Dagalo said the truce, aligned with efforts led by US President Donald Trump and the Quad mediators — the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt — aims to ease Sudan’s escalating humanitarian disaster.
The civil war, ongoing since April 2023, has killed tens of thousands, displaced 13 million, and pushed over 30 million Sudanese toward hunger. Famine has already been declared in parts of Darfur.
In a post on Truth Social, Mr Trump later said the US would work with the Quad to end the conflict.
“Tremendous atrocities are taking place in Sudan,” he wrote. “It has become the most violent place on Earth and, likewise, the single biggest humanitarian crisis.”
