Sudan’s army says a U.S.-backed peace proposal must require the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to fully withdraw from cities, according to documents referenced by reporting on the latest proposal. The army’s position is presented as a central condition for the plan to move forward. Sources describe the army’s demand as a recurring obstacle in earlier attempts to reach an agreement, indicating that disputes over RSF redeployment have repeatedly stalled negotiations.
The documents reportedly outline the army’s view that RSF forces should not remain within urban areas under any interim or final arrangement. Other components of the U.S. plan are not detailed in the provided excerpts, but the emphasis on complete withdrawal from cities suggests the army sees control of populated areas as a key requirement for security and implementation.
The reporting reflects an ongoing deadlock in Sudan’s conflict, where mediation efforts face disagreements over force disposition, timelines, and enforcement. No details are included here on RSF acceptance of the proposal or on any concrete steps already taken toward withdrawal.
