Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said on Thursday it agrees to enter a humanitarian truce proposed by the “Quad” countries — the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt — to address the war’s humanitarian toll and improve civilian protection.
In a statement posted on its Telegram channel, the RSF said it looks forward to implementing the arrangement and “immediately commencing” discussions on a cessation of hostilities and on principles for a political process that tackles the conflict’s root causes. It thanked the Quad for “sincere and intensive efforts” led by the United States.
Reuters separately reported the RSF announcement, citing the group’s statement.
The Quad has pushed since September for a multi-month humanitarian truce leading to a permanent ceasefire and a transition toward civilian rule.
General al-Burhan’s army (SAF) has publicly rejected the U.S. truce proposal this week and vowed to continue fighting the RSF. War between the former partners in power erupted in April 2023 amid a dispute over integrating forces.
