SUDAN · GEOPOLITICS

Key Facts

—The sticking point: Sudan’s army accepts most of the US peace proposal but demands the RSF quit every city occupied since May 11, 2023, per documents seen by Reuters on July 9.

—What the plan offers: an immediate 90-day humanitarian truce, talks on a permanent ceasefire and a civilian-led transition to elections.

—The narrower offer: a UN-led mechanism for limited RSF withdrawals, prioritising North Darfur and North Kordofan.
