The Sudanese Rapid Support Forces agreed to the United States‘s proposal of a humanitarian ceasefire, though the Sudanese Armed Forces failed to provide a clear answer.

The Sudanese civil war, which began in April 2023, reentered headlines last week after RSF forces took control of the key city of El Fasher, the final SAF bastion in Darfur. A colossal bloodbath ensued, with investigations suggesting that several thousand civilians were killed after the RSF entered the city. A week later, the RSF said it agreed to a U.S.-proposed humanitarian ceasefire.
