Overview
- The Rapid Support Forces announced a unilateral humanitarian cessation of hostilities for three months in a recorded address by leader Mohamed Hamdane Daglo.
- Army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhane dismissed the internationally mediated ceasefire plan as unacceptable, accused the process of bias tied to the UAE, and urged citizens to join the front lines.
- U.S. envoy Massad Boulos presented the proposal on behalf of the United States, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, though the plan's details were not disclosed.
- Burhane appealed directly to President Donald Trump in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, casting the conflict as a choice between a sovereign state and what he called a genocidal militia.
- Rights groups accuse the RSF of war crimes, reports allege UAE support that Abu Dhabi denies, and the UN labels Sudan’s war the world’s worst humanitarian crisis as fighting continues despite past ceasefire attempts.
