Terrorist RSF Militia: We Will Not Accept or Abide by Any Armistice

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Militia has stated that it has not been officially notified by any party of a request for a humanitarian armistice in El-Fashir (the capital of North Darfur State), which is being sought by multiple international organizations, to deliver aid to thousands of civilians trapped there, threatened by looming famine.

This response came after President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC), General Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan, agreed to a one-week humanitarian truce in the city, at the request of UN Secretary-General António Guterres.

The militia’s legal advisor, Mohamed Al-Mukhtar Al-Nur, told Asharq Al-Awsat that his forces will not accept any ceasefire, partial or otherwise, in El-Fashir or other areas.

He added that the militia has not received any official communication from the United Nations or the United States, as reported, regarding the announced armistice plan.

He pointed out that El-Fashir has become empty after thousands of civilians left for the areas of Tawila, Korma, and Jebel Marra. He added that those present in El-Fashir are fighters affiliated with the Sudanese army and the joint forces of the armed movements allied with it.
