Sudanese Paramilitary Leader Announces Commitment to Ceasefire Amid Ongoing Conflict

Despite the announcement, fighting continues and peace talks remain stagnant, with over 12,000 deaths and 7 million displaced since the conflict began.

Sudanese paramilitary leader Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, head of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has announced his commitment to a cease-fire in the ongoing civil war in Sudan, despite continued fighting and stagnation in peace talks.
Dagalo has been meeting with regional leaders, including South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Kenyan President William Ruto, as part of a tour of African countries.
The conflict, which began in April 2023, has resulted in over 12,000 deaths and displaced more than 7 million people, according to the United Nations.
Despite Dagalo's announcement, the Sudanese Army, led by Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, has not yet agreed to a cease-fire, and artillery fire between the two forces has intensified in recent days.
The U.S. State Department has accused both the RSF and the Sudanese military of committing war crimes or crimes against humanity during the conflict.
