The United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt have jointly called for a three-month humanitarian truce in Sudan, followed by a permanent ceasefire and a nine-month transition to civilian rule. The proposal comes as the war between the country’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces continues, leaving tens of thousands dead and millions displaced in one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. The joint statement urged an inclusive, transparent process not dominated by either faction. Meanwhile, Washington announced sanctions on Sudan’s finance minister and an Islamist militia for fueling conflict and regional instability. Despite international pressure, both warring factions have historically vowed to fight for outright victory, casting uncertainty on the proposal’s success.
