US Ceasefire Plan for Sudan Could Lead to Libya-Style Partition, Adviser Warns

An adviser has warned that a US-backed ceasefire plan for Sudan could unintentionally entrench the country’s rival power centers and produce a Libya-style partition. The proposal calls for a humanitarian truce, civilian protection, negotiations toward a permanent ceasefire, a civilian-led political transition, and reconstruction. Critics fear that freezing front lines without resolving the conflict could leave the army and Rapid Support Forces controlling separate territories. Supporters argue the plan is urgently needed to halt violence and deliver aid to millions.
