KHARTOUM NOVEMBER 25: The head of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, former camel herder from Chad Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, said that his terrorists would immediately enter into a three-month “humanitarian truce” in its conflict with the country’s armed forces.
The United States, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Saudi Arabia – known as the Quad – earlier this month proposed a plan for a three-month truce followed by peace talks. The RSF responded by saying it had accepted the plan, but soon after attacked army territory with a barrage of drone strikes. Monday’s statement appeared to announce a unilateral ceasefire. It came a day after Sudan’s army chief rejected the Quad’s proposals.
The UN cautiously welcomed a humanitarian ceasefire. But requires verification through actions on the ground. The proof of sincerity will be that it must protect civilians, it must let aid in at scale and allow us to work independently,” spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo has previously proven not to be the most trustworthy person.
