Neither of Sudan's factions has accepted 'truce plan'

The United States has presented Sudan's warring parties with a proposal for a truce but neither side has formally accepted it, US envoy Massad Boulos said on Tuesday, as the army accused its rivals of staging an attack despite declaring a ceasefire.

Boulos said that while there were no objections to the content of the US-proposed plan, the Sudanese army had come back with “preconditions” he described as impossible to achieve.

The army’s rival in the war, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), unilaterally declared a cessation of hostilities on Monday inline with US wishes. But on Tuesday the army said it had repelled an attack on a base in Babanusa in West Kordofan state, the newest frontline in the war.
