Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) say they have agreed to a US-led proposal for a humanitarian ceasefire.<\/p>\n

The war began in April 2023 after the Sudanese<\/strong> <\/strong>army and RSF, then partners, clashed over plans to integrate.<\/p>\n

The agreement to a truce follows reports of mass killings during the fall of Al Fashir, a city which was recently captured by the RSF.<\/p>\n

Al Fashir, which was under siege for more than 18 months, had been the army’s last holdout in the region of Darfur, making its capture a key milestone in the war.<\/p>\n

That gave RSF de facto control of more than a quarter of the territory.<\/p>\n

Thousands of people who fled the city as it fell to the RSF were targeted in killing fields<\/strong> around it by the group, after the military’s top brass secured their own safe passage.<\/p>\n

More than 60,000 people were still missing and humanitarians fear that Al Fashir’s remaining 200,000 residents<\/strong> were being held hostage by RSF fighters.<\/p>\n

The US, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt – known as the Quad – have been working on ways to end the war.<\/p>\n

In September, they had called for a three-month humanitarian truce in Sudan, to be followed by a permanent ceasefire.<\/p>\n

The RSF have said they are “looking forward” to starting talks on a “cessation of hostilities”.<\/p>\n

They said in a statement the RSF “looks forward to implementing the agreement and immediately commencing discussions on the arrangements for a cessation of hostilities and the fundamental principles guiding the political process in Sudan.”<\/p>\n

The Sudanese army did not immediately respond to the announcement.<\/p>\n

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had said on Tuesday: “The United States has actively engaged in efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution to the terrible conflict in Sudan.”<\/p>\n

Previously, the RSF and the Sudanese army had agreed to various ceasefire proposals during their two-and-a-half-year-old war, but none have succeeded.<\/p>\n

The army-led Security and Defence Council met earlier this week but did not give a definitive answer to the proposal. Influential leaders and allies within the army expressed their disapproval.<\/p>\n

According to witnesses, the RSF killed and abducted civilians during and after its capture of Al Fashir.<\/p>\n

Its leader had called on fighters to protect civilians and said violations would be prosecuted.<\/p>\n

The devastating conflict has killed tens of thousands of people and sparked hunger across the country, while also displacing millions of people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
