Sudan's RSF paramilitary says it will enter into ceasefire

The head of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces said late on Monday that his paramilitaries would immediately enter into a three-month humanitarian truce, after U.S. President Donald Trump said last week that he would intervene to seek an end to a war that has plunged the country into famine.



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, and criticized the inclusion of the United Arab Emirates, which has been widely accused of arming the RSF, as a mediator.



The Gulf state has denied such accusations and said it aims to stop the war.
