PNN – Sudan’s prime minister has presented a comprehensive plan to end the civil war in the country and called on the UN Security Council to support it.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing Al Mayadeen, Sudanese Prime Minister Kamel Idris has put forward a comprehensive peace plan aimed at ending the ongoing war in the country and has urged the Security Council to back it.
The plan includes a ceasefire under the joint supervision of the United Nations, the African Union, and the Arab League, on the condition that the Rapid Support Forces withdraw from all occupied areas and be simultaneously disarmed.

He also called for an internal dialogue in Sudan during the transitional period to reach agreement on the principles of governance, so that the transitional phase would conclude with general elections under international supervision.
Kamel Idris expressed hope that he would secure the unconditional support of Security Council members for the plan, which he described as “complementary to the Saudi-American-Egyptian peace initiative.”
The provisions of the plan indicate that support from the Rapid Support Forces is highly unlikely, as it effectively grants a military victory to government forces and eliminates the military influence of the RSF militias.
Idris said that a ceasefire has no chance of success unless the militia forces are confined to barracks, stressing that Security Council members must support the plan for it to succeed.
Sudan’s civil war, which began on April 15, 2023, between the army led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces led by his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of people and the displacement of around 12 million others, creating the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
