In Sudan, the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group has announced a unilateral three-month ceasefire in its fight against Sudan’s military rulers. The announcement came after the head of the Sudanese Armed Forces rejected a ceasefire proposal advanced by the so-called Quad — Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the United States. General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan cited the UAE’s role in arming the Rapid Support Forces, who he says have carried out genocide and other atrocities in territory it controls. Since fighting between the rival military factions erupted in April 2023, more than 150,000 people have been killed and about 12 million have been forced from their homes.
