Boulos said both sides had shown no objections to the initial proposal, and discussions were now centered on “the fine details” of the agreement. The plan, developed under the International Quad — comprising the US, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates — aims to facilitate emergency aid deliveries across Sudan as a first step toward a permanent ceasefire.
The US-backed initiative also outlines a nine-month transition phase following the truce to establish an independent, civilian-led government. Boulos clarified that while there were no direct or indirect talks between the two rival forces, Washington was leading ongoing communication to advance the process.
He described the humanitarian conditions in Al-Fashir, the North Darfur capital seized by the RSF late last month, as “painful and urgent,” condemning attacks on civilians.
“Our immediate priority is to ease the suffering of Sudanese civilians and work toward lasting peace while safeguarding Sudan’s unity,” Boulos said.
The conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF, which began in April 2023, has left thousands dead and forced millions from their homes, worsening one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises.
