Khartoum, Nov. 5 (Xinhua) — Sudan's army announced on Tuesday that it would continue fighting the paramilitary Rapid Intervention Force (RIF), following a Security and Defense Council meeting to discuss a U.S. proposal for a humanitarian truce.

In a statement following the meeting, Defence Minister Hassan Kabrun said the council called for continued mobilisation and readiness "to destroy the rebel militias," adding that preparations were ongoing for what he called "the battle of the Sudanese people."

He said the meeting also discussed plans to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid and relief operations, noting that a special committee had been formed to monitor the implementation of these measures and restore stability throughout the country.

A government source told Xinhua that the US-proposed ceasefire was the top item on the agenda. "The proposal was considered, but the council did not take a final position," the anonymous source said.

The conflict between the Sudanese army and the RSF has been ongoing since April 2023. Tens of thousands of people have been killed as a result of the fighting, and millions have been forced to flee their homes, fleeing to other parts of the country or abroad.
