Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has announced a unilateral three-month ceasefire a day after the army dismissed a United States truce proposal from international mediators.
The US, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt and Saudi Arabia — known as the Quad — earlier this month proposed a plan for a three-month truce followed by peace talks. The RSF responded by saying it had accepted the plan, but soon after, it attacked army territory with a barrage of drone strikes.
The statement appeared to announce a unilateral ceasefire. It came a day after Sudan’s army chief rejected the Quad’s proposals and criticised the inclusion of the UAE, which has been accused of arming the RSF, as a mediator.
The Gulf nation has refuted the allegations, asserting that its goal is to bring an end to the conflict.
