Sudan's Leader Presents UN Peace Plan as US Pushes Truce

Sudan's prime minister has proposed a new peace plan to the United Nations. The plan aims to end the country's devastating civil war, which has now lasted nearly 1,000 days. The conflict is between Sudan's national army and a powerful paramilitary group. A paramilitary force is an armed unit that operates like an army but is not part of the official military. The United States responded to the proposal by urging both warring sides to agree to an immediate humanitarian truce. This pause in fighting would allow critical aid to reach civilians. The U.S. statement referenced a call for a truce first made during the previous Trump administration. This highlights the prolonged and unresolved nature of the conflict. The international community continues to pressure Sudan's factions to stop the war. Millions of people in Sudan face severe hunger and displacement.
