Sudan’s RSF paramilitaries agree humanitarian ceasefire
Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group has agreed to a humanitarian ceasefire following intense fighting in the Darfur region. The ceasefire was brokered by international mediators and is set to begin on Monday, with both the RSF and rebel forces committing to allowing humanitarian aid to reach those in need.
The clashes between the RSF and rebel groups have resulted in a significant number of casualties and have displaced thousands of civilians in recent weeks. The RSF, a powerful paramilitary group in Sudan, has been accused of widespread human rights abuses in the past, including the alleged targeting of civilians in conflict zones.
The agreement comes after pressure from the international community, including the United Nations and various human rights organizations, urging all parties to cease hostilities and allow for the safe delivery of aid to those affected by the violence. The RSF has stated that they are committed to upholding the ceasefire for the sake of the civilian population in Darfur.
The humanitarian ceasefire is seen as a positive step towards addressing the humanitarian crisis in the region, although concerns remain about the long-term stability and security situation in Darfur. The international community has called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict and for all parties to engage in constructive dialogue to achieve lasting peace in Sudan.
The RSF’s agreement to a humanitarian ceasefire is a significant development in the ongoing conflict in Darfur and could potentially pave the way for further negotiations between the warring parties to address the root causes of the violence and insecurity in the region.
