"A senior official in Sudan's Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC) has ruled out any negotiations with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as fighting continues to devastate the country. There is no truce and no negotiation with an occupier, and that the just peace that Sudan desires will be achieved through the roadmap and vision of its people and government, Malik Agar Ayyir, deputy chairman of TSC, said in a statement on Thursday posted by the Ministry of Culture, Media and Tourism."
"Speaking to ministers and state officials in Port Sudan, the eastern city where the government is based, he dismissed the narrative that the war is aimed at achieving democracy. Instead, he described the war as a conflict over resources and a desire to change Sudan's demographics and emphasised an opportunity to strengthen national unity. This comes days after Sudan's Prime Minister Kamil Idris presented a plan to end the country's nearly three-year war before the United Nations Security Council."
Sudan's Transitional Sovereignty Council has ruled out negotiations with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, insisting there is no truce with what it calls an occupier. The deputy chairman, Malik Agar Ayyir, said just peace will be achieved through the roadmap and vision of Sudan's people and government. He characterised the war as a struggle over resources and demographic change rather than a democratic uprising, and called for national unity. Prime Minister Kamil Idris presented a UN Security Council plan requiring RSF withdrawal from seized western and central areas, placement in camps, disarmament, and conditional reintegration. The RSF rejects ceding territory as unrealistic while violence, displacement, and atrocities continue.
