Al-Burhan sets preconditions for ceasefire with RSF

Al-Burhan’s roadmap calls for the RSF to withdraw from key areas, including Khartoum, Kordofan, and the vicinity of El Fasher, and to regroup in other parts of the Darfur region within 10 days as a condition for agreeing to a ceasefire.

KHARTOUM – The head of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), Abdelfattah Al-Burhan, has outlined a series of preconditions for a ceasefire with the rebellious paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to a ceasefire roadmap shared with the United Nations.

Al-Burhan’s roadmap calls for the RSF to withdraw from key areas, including Khartoum, Kordofan, and the vicinity of El Fasher, and to regroup in other parts of the Darfur region within 10 days as a condition for agreeing to a ceasefire.

The document, which was sent to the United Nations by Sudan’s representative Al Harith Idriss Al-Harith and dated March 10, 2025, also stresses the need for a return of displaced persons and the entry of humanitarian aid, which should be completed within three months.

The roadmap, which was labeled as “confidential and personal,” emphasizes cooperation between Sudan and the United Nations, with the goal of achieving peace, stability, and a transition to democratic governance.

In the document, Al-Burhan expressed his government’s willingness to engage in an international dialogue to resolve the conflict, facilitated by the United Nations. The roadmap also included provisions for a political transition, calling for the establishment of a government of independents to oversee the country’s recovery post-war.

“We in Sudan welcome the efforts of the United Nations in supporting the peace process and enhancing stability and security in the country. We also appreciate its role in providing humanitarian assistance to Sudanese affected by the war imposed on the Sudanese people by the terrorist Al-Dagalo militia,” the document said.

The proposal lays out a phased approach, with the immediate focus on securing the return of civilians and humanitarian aid, followed by restoring the basic infrastructure of the country, including services such as water, electricity, and healthcare.

Al-Burhan’s government also highlighted the need for guarantees to ensure the implementation of these measures, under the supervision of a body agreed upon with the United Nations.

The roadmap comes amid ongoing fighting between SAF and RSF, which has left Sudan in a state of turmoil for nearly two years. While the proposal represents a significant step towards a ceasefire, the response from opposition groups has been skeptical.

Bakri al Jack, spokesperson for Civil Democratic Alliance of Revolutionary Forces (Sumoud), an anti-war civilian front led by Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok, criticized the roadmap, describing it as “a wish list for a party that assumes it has won the war and now it is laying the conditions for the other party’s surrender.”

He added, in an email to Sudans Post, that the proposal, which was not presented to his group, is not a genuine peace effort, but rather an attempt to impose terms on the opposition.
