The Rapid Support Forces also look forward to the implementation of the agreement and the immediate start of discussions on arrangements for a cessation of hostilities and the fundamental principles governing the political process in Sudan.
The statement came less than two weeks after RSF units captured the city of Al-Fashir in the famine-stricken Darfur region. International organizations accused the militants of killing and abducting civilians during the offensive.

The Sudanese army has not yet officially responded to the proposal. According to Reuters, some military leaders have expressed objections to the agreement, despite support for the initiative from the US, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt.
The war between the Sudanese army and the RSF has been ongoing since April 2023. The conflict has already claimed tens of thousands of lives, caused a humanitarian catastrophe, and displaced millions of people.
