Sudan’s Prime Minister Kamel Idris presented a comprehensive initiative to the UN Security Council aimed at halting the war that has ravaged the African nation since 2023 and has been described by the United Nations as “the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.”
The plan envisions a ceasefire monitored by the UN, the African Union, and the Arab League, accompanied by the complete withdrawal and disarmament of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from all areas they currently occupy.

Idris indicated that the proposal includes Sudanese-Sudanese dialogue during the transition period to establish the foundations of a new system of government and move toward general elections under international supervision. The Prime Minister stated he expects “unconditional support” from the Security Council member states, emphasizing that the initiative complements ongoing Saudi, American, and Egyptian diplomatic efforts.

Even so, diplomatic sources acknowledge that the plan faces resistance, particularly because it would imply a political and military victory for the Sudanese government, making it difficult for the FAR to accept negotiations that would disarm them and reduce their influence on the domestic stage. Idris maintained that a truce “has no chance of success” without confining the insurgent forces to camps monitored and verified internationally.
Before Idris’s intervention, the US Deputy Ambassador to the UN, Jeffrey Bartos, stated that Washington proposed an immediate humanitarian truce, urging the parties to accept it “without preconditions.” However, negotiations by the so-called Quartet—the United States, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates—have remained stalled since November.
The war in Sudan began on April 15, 2023, pitting the army under Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan against the FAR led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.

The conflict has left tens of thousands dead, nearly 12 million displaced, and an institutional collapse that has paralyzed the country. The UN warns that, without a verifiable agreement, Sudan could enter a phase of prolonged territorial fragmentation, with the risk of regional destabilization.
The Sudanese government maintains that the initiative presented to the Security Council is the last viable option before a scenario of protracted war and irreversible consequences.
