Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has agreed to a US-proposed humanitarian ceasefire, the group announced, following its capture of el-Fasher in western Darfur after an 18-month siege that caused severe starvation.
The Sudanese military-led government had not yet responded, though officials previously stated they would only agree to a truce if the RSF disarmed and its leader was held accountable. The RSF said it accepted the proposal, backed by the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, to allow urgent delivery of humanitarian aid and to pave the way for a lasting peace.
The UN Human Rights Council is set to hold an emergency session on 14 November to address the situation, as local aid networks warn that community kitchens feeding millions are on the brink of collapse.
