Mubarak Ardol, a prominent figure in Sudan’s Democratic Bloc, has welcomed reports of a proposed three-month humanitarian truce between General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army and rival Rapid Support Forces, calling it a vital step toward ending the country’s devastating conflict.
Writing on his official Facebook page, Ardol said the initiative represents a “positive move” toward a comprehensive cessation of hostilities, as the humanitarian situation continues to worsen across Sudan.
He urged both warring sides in Sudan to demonstrate genuine commitment to peace and cooperation on the ground to protect civilians and ensure the smooth delivery of aid.
Ardol underscored the need for a robust monitoring mechanism covering both military and humanitarian dimensions to guarantee the truce’s success.
Without such oversight, he warned, violations could easily reignite violence and derail fragile peace efforts.
He further called for the establishment of safe corridors for humanitarian convoys and practical measures to shield civilians caught in the fighting.
“A ceasefire is not just a political demand—it is a humanitarian and national necessity,” he said, stressing the urgency of halting the bloodshed that has gripped Sudan for more than two years.
His remarks come amid growing international pressure to end the war.
The Quartet—comprising Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States—has renewed its call for conditions that would enable a comprehensive political process.
Diplomatic efforts are intensifying to restore stability and rebuild Sudan’s institutions on peaceful foundations.
The Democratic Bloc’s endorsement of the truce reflects a broader alignment between internal political forces and international mediation efforts, as Sudan stands at a crossroads between prolonged conflict and the hope for lasting peace.
