Sudan Rejects Ramadan Truce, Demands Concessions from Paramilitary Force
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Sudan’s simmering conflict between the military and a paramilitary group shows no signs of cooling down even during the holy month of Ramadan. A high-ranking Sudanese general, Yasser al-Atta, threw a wrench into plans for a ceasefire, sparking controversy.

This comes after the United Nations Security Council and even Sudan’s own U.N. ambassador called for a pause in fighting during Ramadan, which begins imminently. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a powerful paramilitary group, even publicly welcomed the ceasefire proposal.

However, General al-Atta, in a statement released through the military’s official channel, laid down harsh conditions for peace. He linked a ceasefire to the RSF’s complete withdrawal from civilian homes and public spaces they currently occupy. This demand harks back to a previous agreement, brokered with international help in May 2023, which the RSF allegedly hasn’t followed through on.

The General’s statement goes even further, demanding the exclusion of the RSF leader, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (also known as Hemedti), from any future political or military leadership roles. This stipulation raises questions about the endgame desired by Sudan’s military and hints at a deeper power struggle within the country.

Sudan Rejects Ramadan Truce, Demands Concessions from Paramilitary Force

It’s important to understand the context of this conflict. Tensions flared in April 2023 between the military and the RSF, both of whom were part of a 2021 coup that derailed a democratic transition. The two factions, once allies, are now locked in a bloody struggle, leaving scars on the nation.

The human cost of this conflict is devastating. The UN estimates that nearly half of Sudan’s population needs humanitarian assistance, millions are displaced, and hunger is on the rise. The international community, including the United States, has accused both sides of committing war crimes.

General al-Atta’s conditions for a ceasefire raise a critical question: is peace even possible with such demands? The RSF holds a strong military position, and the army has struggled against them in recent clashes. Will these conditions be a dealbreaker, prolonging the misery of the Sudanese people, or will they force the RSF to make concessions in the name of peace?

Only time will tell how this standoff resolves. However, one thing remains clear: Sudan’s path to peace requires compromise and a genuine commitment to ending the suffering of its people, even during a sacred time like Ramadan.
