Sudan conflict: Truce announced as thousands flee and fatalities reported.

Military generals in Sudan agreed to a temporary truce for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, with the Rapid Support Forces announcing a 72-hour humanitarian truce to allow for evacuations. The Sudanese Armed Forces’ top general also declared that the military would commit to a civilian-led government, seemingly pointing to an end of hostilities between the two military groups. The conflict has caused significant civilian deaths and injuries and damage to essential infrastructure, with international groups urging an end to the violence.

Sudan's Military Vows to Uphold Civilian Rule

Sudan's top general, Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan, declared the military's commitment to a civilian-led government on the Muslim Eid al-Fitr holiday, following brutal fighting between his forces and a powerful paramilitary group that has killed 413 people and wounded 3,551 others. However, for many Sudanese, Burhan's claim rang hollow 18 months after he joined forces with his current rival to seize power in a coup that cast aside Sudan's pro-democracy forces. Both the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have a long history of human rights abuses in Sudan.

Unraveling the Power Players in Sudan's Military: al-Burhan and Hemedti.

General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the military commander who has been the de facto leader of Sudan for years, is leading the army against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in violent clashes that have left nearly 600 people wounded. Al-Burhan rose to become a regional commander during the Darfur conflict, but distanced himself from the atrocities committed there. He became head of the Transitional Military Council after the ousting of former President Omar al-Bashir, and later the de facto head of state as head of the Sovereign Council. However, in 2021, he led a coup, derailing Sudan's path to democracy.

Sudanese Paramilitary Forces Gain Control Amid Growing Tensions.

Sudan's army and paramilitary force are engaged in heavy clashes in the capital Khartoum over a proposed transition to civilian rule. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) claims to have taken control of key sites, including airports, the army chief's residence, and the presidential palace. The army denies this and says its air force is attacking paramilitary bases. The conflict has left many caught in transit, with bridges and roads closed and schools in lockdown. The proposed move to a civilian-led government has foundered on the timetable to integrate the RSF into the national army.

Sudanese factions postpone agreement on civilian rule after coup.

The signing of an agreement to name a Sudanese civilian government has been postponed to April 6 due to a lack of consensus on some outstanding issues, according to a spokesman for the negotiation process. The talks have stalled over the integration of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a powerful paramilitary group accused of war crimes, into the regular army. Reform of the security forces is a key point of contention in the talks, which envisage an exit of generals from politics once a civilian government is installed.
