Sudan's Rapid Support Forces Agree to Truce Amid Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis

The Rapid Support Forces in Sudan have agreed to a ceasefire as the country grapples with a devastating humanitarian crisis that has worsened over two years of conflict.

• On Thursday, the Rapid Support Forces accepted a ceasefire proposal from U.S.-led mediators to mitigate escalating violence in Sudan, which has led to severe humanitarian consequences.
• The conflict, primarily centered in Darfur, has seen the Rapid Support Forces accused of committing atrocities against civilians, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis faced by the population.
• As part of the truce, the Rapid Support Forces aim to address the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in areas like Al-Fashir, where violence has displaced countless individuals.
