Al-Burhan Sets Preconditions for Ceasefire with RSF
Key Demands Include RSF Withdrawal and Humanitarian Access
KHARTOUM – Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) leader Gen. Abdelfattah Al-Burhan has presented a detailed ceasefire roadmap to the United Nations, outlining strict preconditions for peace talks with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The document, marked as confidential, proposes a phased approach to ending Sudan’s nearly two-year conflict.
Ceasefire Roadmap Details
The proposal demands that RSF forces withdraw from strategic areas including Khartoum, Kordofan, and El Fasher within 10 days, regrouping instead in designated parts of Darfur. Additionally, the plan emphasizes:
- Safe return of displaced civilians within three months
- Unimpeded humanitarian access to conflict zones
- Restoration of critical infrastructure (water, electricity, healthcare)
- Establishment of an independent transitional government
International Cooperation and Opposition Response
Al-Burhan’s government expressed willingness to engage in UN-facilitated dialogue, stating: We welcome UN efforts in supporting peace and providing humanitarian assistance to those affected by the terrorist Al-Dagalo militia.
However, opposition groups remain skeptical. Bakri al Jack of the Civil Democratic Alliance criticized the proposal as a wish list for a party assuming victory,
arguing it imposes surrender terms rather than fostering genuine peace negotiations.
Implementation and Oversight
The roadmap calls for UN-supervised implementation guarantees, with progress monitored by an agreed international body. This comes as fighting continues to devastate Sudan, displacing millions and crippling basic services.
