Sudan’s prime minister presented a plan to the United Nations Security Council on Monday seeking to end Sudan’s devastating war, which has led to the world’s worst humanitarian crisis since it erupted in April of 2023. The plan would see the U.N., Arab League and African Union monitor a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Rapid Support Forces paramilitaries from territories under their control. RSF fighters would be placed in camps and disarmed; those not implicated in war crimes would be reintegrated into society. It’s highly unlikely the RSF will agree to such terms. Meanwhile, a senior U.N. official warned the continued flow of high-tech weaponry into Sudan is worsening an already-dire humanitarian crisis. This is U.N. Assistant Secretary-General Mohamed Khaled Khiari.

Mohamed Khaled Khiari: “Mr. President, the continuous supply of weapons, increasingly sophisticated and deadly, remains a key driver of the conflict. Sudan is saturated with arms. Calls to end these flows have gone unheeded, and there has been no accountability.”

Human rights groups have called on the Trump administration to end arms transfers to the United Arab Emirates until it stops arming RSF paramilitaries who’ve committed genocide, according to an assessment by the State Department. Meanwhile, fighting continues in Sudan. On Monday, the Sudanese army announced it had recaptured a town in North Kordofan state. Elsewhere, Doctors Without Borders is warning of a rapidly spreading measles outbreak in Sudan’s Darfur region, where hundreds of thousands have been displaced by an RSF offensive.
