KHARTOUM, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said Thursday that it has agreed to "enter into the humanitarian truce" proposed by the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

The truce aims to "address the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of the war and enhance the protection of civilians," RSF spokesperson Al-Fateh Qurashi said in a statement.

"We look forward to implementing the agreement and immediately beginning discussions on arrangements for a cessation of hostilities," he said.

On Tuesday, the Sudanese army announced that it would press on with fighting against the RSF following a meeting of the Security and Defense Council to discuss a U.S. proposal for a humanitarian truce.

According to leaked details, the proposal envisions a three-month humanitarian truce to allow aid access, followed by a nine-month political process aimed at achieving a comprehensive settlement and a permanent ceasefire.

The conflict between Sudan's army and the RSF has raged since April 2023, killing thousands of people and displacing millions of others across Sudan and beyond.
