General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo Musa announced that the Rapid Support Forces declared a unilateral three-month humanitarian ceasefire to facilitate peace talks after the Sudanese army rejected an international ceasefire proposal. General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan condemned the move as unacceptable, claiming it would weaken security forces and favor the RSF, while urging citizens to join the fight against the RSF, as accusations persisted regarding the UAE’s support and as mediators from the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt presented proposals with Massad Boulos acting for Donald Trump. International scrutiny grew regarding the use of Canadian-supplied equipment by the RSF, with Anita Anand and Mark Carney responding to calls about arms embargoes, while António Guterres demanded a ceasefire and ongoing violence revealed significant humanitarian and geopolitical impacts. Human rights abuses, mass displacement and the
RSF’s territorial gains have highlighted the escalating crisis, with
Chad increasing border patrols and internal
RSF dissent following mass atrocity allegations.
