In a significant development, Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has agreed to a ceasefire proposal put forward by the United States, as announced in a statement on Thursday. This move comes amidst the ongoing conflict that has plagued the nation since April 2023, when tensions between the Sudanese army and the RSF escalated over plans to integrate their forces. The RSF, which was previously a partner in power with the army, has now taken a step towards de-escalation by accepting the US-mediated ceasefire, which aims to facilitate humanitarian efforts in the war-torn region. The conflict has caused widespread devastation, and this ceasefire could potentially pave the way for peace talks and aid delivery to affected populations.
