Sudan paramilitaries agree to mediators' truce proposal
Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, at war with the regular army for more than two years, announced on Thursday that they had agreed to a proposal for a humanitarian truce put forward by mediators.
"In response to the aspirations and interests of the Sudanese people, the Rapid Support Forces affirms its agreement to enter into the humanitarian truce proposed by the Quad countries," the RSF said in a statement, referring to the United States, Egypt, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Sudan's army-aligned government indicated earlier this week that it would press on with the war following an internal meeting on a U.S. ceasefire proposal.
