US calls on Sudan's warring parties to accept ceasefire plan unaltered

Washington [US], November 26: The United States envoy has called for the warring parties in Sudan to accept his truce proposal without seeking preconditions.
Massad Boulos, adviser to President Donald Trump on African and Arab affairs, told a news conference in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday that he had presented the warring generals in Sudan with a "comprehensive" ceasefire plan, but it was accepted by neither side.
"We would like them to accept the specific text that was presented to them" in its original form, he added, in reference to the commanders of the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The comments came a day after RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, had announced that his paramilitary group will adhere to an apparently unilateral "humanitarian truce" for three months.
The day before that, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, the Sudanese army's commander had blasted the text put forward by the White House envoy as "the worst" proposal made since the start of the vicious civil war that erupted in April 2023.
The effective leader of the military government claimed that the plan, put forward by "the Quad" - a group of mediators that also includes Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates - would undermine the army while keeping the RSF in place. (Agencies)
