"Sudan's prime minister has presented a plan to end the country's nearly three-year war before the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), calling on members to stand on the right side of history by backing the initiative, as fighting continued in Kordofan and North Kordofan states. Addressing the UNSC on Monday, Kamil Idris outlined the proposal that includes a ceasefire monitored by the UN, African Union and Arab League, and the withdrawal of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary from territory it controls."
"The plan would also see RSF forces, who have been engaged in fierce clashes with the Sudanese army since April 2023, being placed in camps and disarmed a measure, Idris said, would be necessary for the truce to have any chance for success. Idris, who was appointed by the army in May, also pledged to organise free elections following a transition period to allow for inter-Sudanese dialogue, and said the plan would also see RSF fighters not implicated in war crimes reintegrated into society."
A proposal aims to end the nearly three-year war by requiring Rapid Support Forces to withdraw from territory, relinquish weapons, be placed in camps and be disarmed under international monitoring. The plan calls for a ceasefire monitored by the UN, African Union and Arab League, a transition period for inter-Sudanese dialogue, and organisation of free elections, with reintegration for fighters not implicated in war crimes. The stated objective is to end a decades-long cycle of violence rather than pursue military victory. Fighting continues in Kordofan and North Kordofan; large-scale casualties and mass displacement have resulted from the conflict.
