Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced that it would immediately enter into a three-month humanitarian truce, after US President Donald Trump said last week that he would intervene to seek an end to a war that has plunged the country into famine. 

It came a day after Sudan's army chief rejected the proposals from the Quad, the US, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, and critised the inclusion of the UAE, which has been widely accused of arming the RSF, as a mediator. 

General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan accused the Quad proposal of aiming to weaken the Sudanese army while allowing the RSF to maintain the territory it has seized. 

The war in Sudan has killed tens of thousands of civilians, particularly in ethnically-based bloodshed.
