The U.S. has offered a truce proposal to the conflicting parties in Sudan, but formal acceptance is pending, according to U.S. envoy Massad Boulos on Tuesday. Despite a ceasefire declaration by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in compliance with U.S. wishes, the Sudanese army reported repelling an attack in Babanusa, West Kordofan state. President Donald Trump pledged intervention to end the conflict, which originated in April 2023 due to a power struggle, causing famine and displacements. Previous mediation attempts by the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE have been unsuccessful. Boulos stated that both the Sudanese army and RSF have not officially agreed to the truce proposal. Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan criticized the latest U.S. proposal, alleging bias towards the RSF. The army has reservations about the involvement of the UAE in peace talks and demands the withdrawal of RSF forces from civilian areas before accepting a truce. The UAE denied accusations of arming the RSF and emphasized its commitment to peace. Boulos mentioned the potential labeling of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group by the U.S. RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo declared a unilateral ceasefire under international pressure, but its enforcement status remains uncertain. Boulos encouraged the RSF’s ceasefire and called for an end to external support for the warring factions. The Sudanese government viewed the RSF’s ceasefire announcement as a political tactic to divert attention from alleged atrocities, which the RSF denies.
