Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) group has mapped out its vision to end the conflict between it and the country’s regular army, signalling a readiness for a negotiated settlement.
Its leader, Lt Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, issued a long statement on X (formerly Twitter) on 27 August to outline the group’s “vision for a comprehensive settlement to end the war and to build a new Sudan”.
It said in a statement any settlement to end the war “must set the country on the path to a full civilian rule based on democratic norms”.
It said the “solution must address the root causes of Sudan’s wars through a broad and inclusive dialogue involving all civil stakeholders” and “must be directed towards achieving a lasting ceasefire”.
It also urges for the creation of “a new national and professional army” in Sudan.
The statement came on the same day Sudan’s de-facto president and army chief, Lt Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, arrived in the eastern city of Port Sudan.
It was Gen Burhan’s first trip to the city, spared the fighting so far, since the conflict erupted in mid-April.
Sudanese media have reported that he will travel to Egypt and Saudi Arabia soon.
