U.S.-brokered peace efforts for Sudan have encountered new obstacles after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) rejected demands to withdraw from cities under their control and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) insisted that any agreement must begin with the RSF's withdrawal. Mediators are working to revive talks for a proposed 90-day humanitarian truce in Sudan led by U.S. Senior Advisor Massad Boulos, but disagreements between the SAF and the RSF continue to stall progress. They could also help civilians return to their homes and improve humanitarian access," said Mohiedeen Mohamed, an analyst. That shows neither is ready to make concessions, making a humanitarian truce unlikely to improve conditions on the ground," said Abdolmoniem Abuidrees, another analyst. Since April 2023, fighting between the SAF and the RSF has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions both within Sudan and across its borders.
