00:00The head of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces announces on Monday that his paramilitary group will enter an immediate three-month humanitarian truce.
00:10The declaration comes after U.S. President Donald Trump pledges to support efforts to end the war that has pushed Sudan into famine.
00:20Earlier this month, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, known collectively as the Quad,
00:27proposed a three-month ceasefire to be followed by peace talks.
00:32The RSF initially accepted the plan but then carried out drone strikes on army positions.
00:38Monday's announcement appeared to mark a unilateral ceasefire.
00:43RSF General Mohamed Hamdan de Gallo said he would begin the truce in response to international efforts, including those led by Trump.
00:51He also urged the Quad to press Sudan's army to join the initiative.
00:54On Sunday, the army chief, General Abdul Fattah al-Burhan, criticized the U.S. proposal,
01:01claiming it sought to weaken the army while allowing the RSF to retain captured territory.
01:08He said the Sudanese public would not accept RSF fighters remaining in the country or taking part in any future political process.
01:16Burhan further rejected what he called U.S. claims of Islamist influence within his government.
01:22The war, which began in April 2023 during disputes over integrating the army and the RSF,
01:29has driven Sudan into famine and killed tens of thousands of civilians, many in ethnically targeted attacks.
01:36Burhan further rejected what he called U.S. demands of the 유
01:56Americans and the U.S.
