During their two and a half year conflict, the two sides, the RSF and the Sudanese army have agreed to several ceasefire protests, but none of these have held. The Trump administration reported that it was still working to end the fighting in Sudan.

The news that is yet to be addressed by the Sudanese army was announced less than two weeks after the RSF seized the famine stricken city of al-Fashir, entrenching its hold on the vast western region of Darfur.

The RSF also anticipates the implementation of the agreement and the immediate start of the discussion of the conditions of a cessation of hostilities and the key principles of the political process in Sudan, as stated by the RSF.

The army-led Security and Defense Council had already met earlier this week and fell short in giving a straight-forward response to the proposal, as some of the senior people and allies to the army expressed opposition towards it.

On Thursday, a spokesperson of the U.S. State Department indicated that Washington still had direct contact with both parties to help them in a humanitarian truce.

The spokesperson said they were urging both parties to act to implement the U.S.-led initiative to end a humanitarian truce as violence in the country needed to be de-escalated and Sudanese suffering established.

In September, the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt proposed that Sudan should have a three-month humanitarian ceasefire followed by permanent ceasefire.

Since they seized al-Fashir, witnesses have accused RSF fighters of murdering and kidnapping civilians and participating in summary executions, which has raised a concern among other countries in the world.

RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who is Hemedti, asked his troops to guard civilians and threatened to punish any human atrocities.

The Sudanese army and the RSF went to war in April 2023 following animosities among the two allies regarding merging their forces.

The war has brought havoc to Sudan where tens of thousands have died, hunger has ravaged the country and millions displaced.
