Sudan’s RSF floats ‘peace plan’ as army chief says no deal with ‘traitors’

Al Jazeera  

The RSF’s proposals for ethnic diversity come amid widespread reports of ethnic cleansing and sexual violence in Darfur. The head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has proposed a plan for “lasting peace” in war-torn Sudan as his rival army chief promised victory and no chance of a deal with “traitors”. “Efforts to end the protracted crisis must be directed toward achieving a lasting ceasefire, coupled with comprehensive political solutions that address the root cause of Sudan’s wars,” his statement said. Hemedti floated the idea of a “non-symmetrical federal system” that would represent Sudan’s regional, cultural and ethnic diversity after elections to form a civilian government and end “structural violence” against broad segments of Sudanese citizens. “We do not make deals with traitors, we do not make deals with anyone who has betrayed the Sudanese people,” al-Burhan told cheering soldiers at the Flamingo Base in Port Sudan on the Red Sea.
