RSF Endorses Ceasefire Plan

Sudan’s grinding civil war may be approaching a narrow but critical pause. RSF Endorses Ceasefire Plan delivers a clear intelligence assessment of the Rapid Support Forces’ decision to back a humanitarian ceasefire proposal brokered by the United States, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE—marking the first coordinated diplomatic opening in months.

This Africa Watch report analyses the proposed three-month truce and subsequent nine-month transitional framework aimed at restoring humanitarian access, stabilising civilian zones, and reopening political dialogue. It explains why the RSF’s endorsement follows its consolidation of control in key theatres, while the Sudanese Armed Forces’ hesitation reflects unresolved security, legitimacy, and territorial concerns. The report also evaluates how mediation efforts intersect with shifting battlefield dynamics around Khartoum, Darfur, and Kordofan.

Beyond Sudan, the analysis highlights the regional and international stakes: mass displacement exceeding 12 million people, pressure on Chad, South Sudan, and Egypt, and rising risks to Red Sea trade routes and Horn of Africa stability. Whether the ceasefire evolves into a durable process will depend on verification mechanisms, regional coordination, and sustained external pressure.
