Prime Minister Kamil Idris of Sudan’s transitional government addressed the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Monday, formally presenting a “homemade” peace initiative aimed at resolving the country’s devastating civil war. The conflict, which erupted in April 2023, has displaced an estimated 14 million people and precipitated the world’s most severe humanitarian crisis.

The “Idris Peace Plan”
The Prime Minister’s proposal outlines a structured path toward stability, centering on the following pillars:
- Immediate Supervised Ceasefire: An urgent cessation of hostilities to be monitored by a joint commission of the United Nations, the African Union, and the League of Arab States.
- RSF Withdrawal: A complete withdrawal of Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from currently occupied territories (estimated at 40% of the country), including key regions in Darfur and Kordofan.
- Encampment and Reintegration: Following withdrawal, RSF personnel are to be stationed in designated camps for vetting. The plan offers a pathway for reintegration into society for fighters not implicated in war crimes.
- Democratic Transition: The establishment of a transitional period dedicated to “inter-Sudanese dialogue,” culminating in the holding of free and fair national elections.
Statements from the Prime Minister
“This is not about winning a war,” Prime Minister Idris stated during the briefing. “It is about ending a cycle of violence that has plagued Sudan for decades.” He underscored the importance of the plan being “homemade,” distinguishing it from externally imposed frameworks.
International and Regional Reactions
- Arab League: Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit formally praised the plan, citing its “important political, humanitarian, and security messages” and calling for positive international engagement.
- The Quad (US, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE): While US Ambassador Jeffrey Bartos urged both sides to accept an alternative humanitarian truce proposal without preconditions, the Quad continues to push for a three-month temporary ceasefire as a bridge to a permanent political process.
- RSF Response: Representatives for the RSF have initially rejected the proposal, describing the demand for territorial withdrawal as unrealistic and reflective of the military leadership’s rhetoric.
The urgency of the proposal comes as fighting intensifies in el-Fasher and parts of Kordofan. With 21 million people facing acute hunger and massive funding cuts to UN aid organizations, the Sudanese government appealed to the international community to support the city of Kosti and other hubs currently overwhelmed by the influx of internally displaced persons.
