Heading towards a lull in the deadly conflict? Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced a three-month unilateral humanitarian ceasefire on Monday, November 24, a day after the country’s regular army rejected an international ceasefire proposal.
“In response to international efforts, especially at the initiative of American President Donald Trump and mediators (…), we announced a humanitarian ceasefire providing for a three-month cessation of hostilities”said FSR leader Mohamed Daglo, in a recorded video speech.
The paramilitaries stated in early November that they accepted the principle of a humanitarian ceasefire proposed by mediators, to which the army has not responded, and fighting between the two camps that have clashed for more than two years for power has not stopped since.
