Sudan’s army says it will not sign a US-backed peace plan unless the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) withdraw fully from every city they occupy. According to leaked documents cited by multiple outlets, the army views the withdrawal requirement as a key condition that has blocked or stalled previous negotiations. The documents indicate the army is willing to accept most elements of Washington’s proposed framework, but it insists on a comprehensive city-by-city departure of RSF forces rather than partial pullbacks or staged redeployments. The reports describe this demand as a recurring stumbling block in earlier peace efforts, suggesting that differences over RSF’s presence in urban areas remain central to the impasse. The documents do not indicate an alternative timeline or mechanism that would satisfy the army if RSF forces remain in any occupied cities. The situation is presented against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict, with the peace process dependent on agreement on RSF withdrawal terms.
