He added on the “X” platform that all parties should seize this opportunity to change the country’s course, emphasizing that such decisions are rare and difficult during times of war but are necessary to save lives and build trust. Lamamra pointed out that the continued violence day by day leads to atrocities and family displacements, and that a permanent ceasefire could pave the way for a serious political dialogue that achieves a just and lasting peace.
He concluded by saying: “The United Nations is ready to work with regional and international partners to turn the proposed truce into a real bridge to peace.” The Rapid Support Forces in Sudan announced yesterday, Thursday, their approval of the humanitarian truce initiative proposed by the International Quartet Group, which stipulates a ceasefire for 3 months and the start of a Sudanese-Sudanese dialogue leading to the formation of an independent civilian government within 9 months.
The forces confirmed in a statement that their approval comes in response to the aspirations of the Sudanese people and in an effort to address the catastrophic humanitarian effects of the war, noting that the truce aims to ensure the protection of civilians and accelerate the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid to all areas. The “Rapid Support” added that they look forward to the actual implementation of the agreement and the initiation of discussions on arrangements to cease hostilities and establish the foundations of a political path that addresses the roots of the conflict, paving the way to achieve comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in Sudan.
In the first half of September 2025, the Foreign Ministers of the USA, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Arab Republic of Egypt issued a joint statement confirming that the war has caused the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and poses a serious threat to regional peace and security.
The statement from the US Department of State affirmed the ministers’ commitment to a set of principles, most notably preserving Sudan’s unity and sovereignty, rejecting any military solution, and the necessity of protecting civilians and ensuring unhindered humanitarian aid access according to international law. The ministers called for an initial humanitarian truce of 3 months to enable aid access, paving the way for a permanent ceasefire, and launching a comprehensive and transparent transitional process to be concluded within 9 months, ensuring the establishment of an independent civilian government that enjoys legitimacy and accountability.
The quartet’s statement emphasized that the future governance of Sudan is decided by the Sudanese people, rejecting any role for extremist groups or those linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, and considering that the parties to the conflict exacerbate the crisis and prolong it. In April 2023, intense and widespread clashes erupted between forces and the Rapid Support Forces in various regions of Sudan, as each party attempts to control vital headquarters.
