Quad Nations Propose New Peace Plan for Sudan

Breaking Development In a significant diplomatic move, the United States, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt have jointly proposed a comprehensive peace plan for Sudan’s ongoing civil war. The announcement, made on September 12, 2025, marks a crucial step toward ending one of the world’s most severe humanitarian crises.

Key Elements of the Peace Plan

• Three-month humanitarian truce
• Implementation of permanent cease-fire
• Nine-month transition to civilian government
• Explicit rejection of Muslim Brotherhood involvement

Current Situation The conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has created devastating humanitarian consequences. The RSF currently controls most of the Darfur region and has established a parallel administration, challenging Sudan’s unity.

International Involvement Each Quad member brings unique influence:

• UAE: Alleged RSF supporter (denied by UAE)
• Egypt and Saudi Arabia: Army supporters
• US: Diplomatic mediator and sanctions enforcer

Latest Actions The United States has strengthened its position by imposing new sanctions on:

• Finance Minister Jibril Ibrahim
• The Baraa Ibn-Malik Brigade (pro-army Islamist militia)

Humanitarian Impact The situation remains critical in al-Fashir, where RSF siege conditions have worsened food insecurity. Previous cease-fire attempts, including a UN-proposed weeklong truce in June, failed due to RSF rejection despite army acceptance.

Looking Forward The success of this roadmap depends on both warring factions‘ willingness to engage in dialogue and accept the proposed terms. The international community watches closely as this new peace initiative unfolds.
