A senior official in Sudan’s Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC) has ruled out any talks with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as fighting continues in the country.
“There is no ceasefire or negotiations with the occupier, and the peace that Sudan seeks will be achieved through the roadmap and vision of its people and government,” TSC Vice President Malik Agar Aiyar said in a statement posted by the Ministry of Culture, Media, and Tourism on Thursday.

Speaking to ministers and state officials in the eastern city of Port Sudan, where the government is based, he rejected claims that the war was aimed at achieving “democracy.” Instead, he described the war as a “struggle over resources and the desire to change Sudan’s demography” and emphasised the opportunity to strengthen national unity.
It comes days after Sudan’s Prime Minister Kamil Idris presented a plan to the UN Security Council to end the country’s nearly three-year war.
In line with the position of the Sudanese army and government, the plan stipulates that RSF fighters must withdraw from vast areas of land taken by force in the western and central parts of Sudan.
They would be disarmed and put in camps before the innocent could return to society.
The RSF has repeatedly rejected the idea of leaving the area, with al-Basha Tibik, a top adviser to commander Mohammed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo, calling it “closer to fantasy than politics”.
RSF reports profit
The war, which has forcibly displaced some 14 million people, shows no signs of stopping as the RSF tightens its grip on captured territory and expands attacks.
According to international aid agencies working on the ground, RSF fighters have continued to commit mass killings, systematic sexual violence, and the burying and burning of bodies in Darfur over the past several months to conceal evidence of war crimes.
The humanitarian situation on the ground has become more devastating following the capture of al-Fashar, the capital of North Darfur state, in October.
The RSF announced on Thursday that its forces had taken control of the Abu Qumra area in North Darfur.
“They have continued their successful advance into the Um Buru area, where they have completely liberated these areas,” the group claimed in a statement.
Despite mounting evidence of widespread atrocities in western Sudan, the RSF claimed that the primary duty of its fighters is to “protect civilians and eliminate the presence of armed pockets and remnants of mercenary movements.”.
The group also released footage of its armed fighters, whom it claimed were advancing towards al-Obeid, a strategic town in North Kordofan state.
