Sudanese General Yasser al-Atta has rejected a truce during Ramadan unless the RSF paramilitary group leaves civilian areas, despite calls from the UNSC for a cessation of hostilities. The conflict between the army and the RSF has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and millions displaced. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has urged both sides to agree to a truce following the UNSC resolution, but the implementation remains unclear. The RSF has expressed willingness to participate in discussions for monitoring mechanisms to ensure the ceasefire’s effectiveness. The resolution calls for a peaceful resolution through dialogue between the warring parties. The army has faced setbacks during the conflict, with the RSF initially taking control of parts of the capital, Khartoum. The situation in Sudan remains dire, with half of the population in need of aid. The UN and international community are urging for a peaceful resolution to the conflict during the holy month of Ramadan.
