Khartoum Peace Proposal Met with Skepticism as UN Reports Escalating Violence in Sudan
New York, NY – As 2025 draws to a close, the brutal conflict between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continues unabated, with a recent peace proposal from Khartoum failing to gain traction amidst warnings of worsening violence from the United Nations. The conflict, now in its third year, has claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced millions, plunging the nation into a humanitarian crisis.
This week, Sudan’s Prime Minister presented a peace plan to the UN Security Council, outlining a framework for the RSF to disarm and cede control of the territories it currently holds. However, the RSF swiftly dismissed the proposal, branding it “closer to fantasy than to politics.”
The rejection throws into further doubt any immediate prospect of a negotiated settlement. The UN has simultaneously expressed growing concern over the intensifying violence on the ground, raising fears for the safety and well-being of civilians.
Analysts are increasingly pessimistic about the immediate future of Sudan. Ahmad Ibrahim, an independent Sudan analyst, expressed concern that the gap between the warring parties is widening. Cameron Hudson, former director of African Affairs at the US National Security Council, highlights the complex regional dynamics fueling the conflict. Khalid Medani, chairperson of the African Studies programme at Canada’s McGill University, stresses the dire humanitarian situation and the long-term consequences for the country. The international community faces increasing pressure to find a solution to end the suffering of the Sudanese people, but with little sign of compromise from either side, the prospects for peace remain bleak.
