The United States says it is working with both the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to secure a humanitarian truce.

This follows a sharp escalation in bloodshed in the conflict after RSF fighters captured the North Darfur region’s capital, al-Fashir, following an 18-month siege.

There have been widespread reports of atrocities committed against civilians and humanitarian aid workers in the city by the group.

The war in Sudan started in April 2023 when tensions between the military and the RSF exploded into open fighting in the capital, Khartoum, spreading across the country.

Washington’s Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs, Massad Boulos, says the US is determined to end the bloodshed.

"We came up with a comprehensive plan that has a clear roadmap. So, the timeline starts with the three-month humanitarian truce that we're talking about now, and then the nine-month process, political process,” he said.

Boulos said they are working on the first phase right now and hope to finalise it soon, adding that the humanitarian truce is a US initiative.

“So, we came up with this proposal, and we gave it to the two sides, and we're working with both sides to finalise it," he said.
