"In their latest proposal, published on Friday, the so-called Quad countries the US, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE have called for a three-month humanitarian truce in the fighting followed by a permanent ceasefire and a nine-month transitional period during which power would be assumed by a broad-based civilian-led government. There is no viable military solution to the conflict, and the status quo creates unacceptable suffering and risks to peace and security, the statement read."
"The United Nations estimates that approximately 40,000 people have been killed in the fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), but the number of dead could be far higher. A research group last November estimated that 60,000 had died as a result of the war directly from violence, or indirectly from starvation and disease in Khartoum state alone. Almost 13 million people have been displaced in Sudan, according to figures from the UN."
Armed conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has caused tens of thousands of deaths and massive displacement. Estimates vary: the UN cites roughly 40,000 killed while a research group estimated 60,000 deaths in Khartoum state alone from violence, starvation and disease. Almost 13 million people are displaced and about half of those remaining face acute food insecurity with famine in parts of the country. A US–Saudi–Egypt–UAE proposal calls for a three-month humanitarian truce, a permanent ceasefire, and a nine-month transition to a broad civilian-led government. The plan excludes violent extremist groups linked to the Muslim Brotherhood and has drawn criticism from Sudan's government, leaving its success uncertain.
