عَرَضَ مُمَثِّلُ السُّودانِ لَدَى الْأُمَمِ الْمُتَّحِدَةِ شُرُوطَ حُكُومَتِهِ لِهُدْنَةٍ إِنْسانِيَّةٍ، خِلالَ جَلْسَةٍ لِمَجْلِسِ الْأَمْنِ فِي الرَّابِعِ وَالْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ أَغُسْطُسَ. وَقالَ إِنَّ الْحُكُومَةَ قَبِلَتِ الْمُقْتَرَحَ الْأَمْرِيكِيَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ الْمَبْدَإِ.

وَأَوْضَحَ أَنَّ الْخِلَافَ ما زالَ يَتَعَلَّقُ بِتَرْتِيبِ الْخُطُواتِ وَطَرِيقَةِ تَنْفِيذِها. وَيَشْمَلُ الْمُقْتَرَحُ هُدْنَةً لِمُدَّةِ تِسْعِينَ يَوْمًا فِي مَناطِقِ الْعَمَلِيَّاتِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ تَسْهِيلِ وُصُولِ الْمُساعَداتِ وَحِمايَةِ الْمَدَنِيِّينَ.

وَحَسَبَ مُمَثِّلِ السُّودانِ، يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَنْسَحِبَ قُوّاتُ الدَّعْمِ السَّرِيعِ مِنَ الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي سَيْطَرَتْ عَلَيْها. وَيَتْبَعُ ذٰلِكَ جَمْعُ الْقُوّاتِ وَنَزْعُ سِلاحِها وَإِعادَةُ دَمْجِ بَعْضِ أَفْرادِها، مَعَ مُراقِبِينَ إِقْلِيمِيِّينَ وَدُوَلِيِّينَ بِمُوافَقَةِ الْحُكُومَةِ.

وَبَعْدَ التَّرْتِيباتِ الْأَمْنِيَّةِ، يَدْعُ التَّصَوُّرُ إِلى حِوارٍ وَطَنِيٍّ وَحُكُومَةٍ مَدَنِيَّةٍ انْتِقالِيَّةٍ وَانْتِخاباتٍ حُرَّةٍ. وَقالَتِ الْأُمَمُ الْمُتَّحِدَةُ إِنَّها تَدْعَمُ جُهُودَ التَّوَصُّلِ إِلى هُدْنَةٍ، بَيْنَما يَسْتَمِرُّ الْقِتالُ فِي عِدَّةِ مَناطِقَ مِنَ السُّودانِ. وَلَمْ يُعْلَنْ بَعْدُ اتِّفاقٌ نِهائِيٌّ.

Sudan Outlines Conditions for a Humanitarian Truce

Sudan’s representative to the United Nations outlined his government’s conditions for a humanitarian truce during a Security Council session on August 24. He said that the government had accepted the US proposal in principle.

He explained that disagreement still concerns the order of the steps and how they would be carried out. The proposal includes a 90-day truce in areas of military operations to help aid reach people and to protect civilians.

According to Sudan’s representative, the Rapid Support Forces should withdraw from the cities they have controlled. This would be followed by gathering the forces, disarming them, and reintegrating some of their members, with regional and international monitors approved by the government.

After the security arrangements, the plan calls for national dialogue, a transitional civilian government, and free elections. The United Nations said it supports efforts to reach a truce, while fighting continues in several parts of Sudan. No final agreement has been announced yet.
