Khartoum /Al Hamish’s Voice – November 4, 2025
The Sudanese government has declared a general mobilization in support of the armed forces against the RSF militia, following an emergency meeting of the Security and Defense Council chaired by the Commander-in-Chief and Chairman of the Sovereignty Council, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, to discuss the security situation and the U.S. proposal for a humanitarian truce.
The Minister of Defense said in a statement following the meeting that the Council reviewed the political and military situation on all fronts and was reassured about the necessary measures to prevent a recurrence of the tragedies witnessed in the city of Al Fashir. He pointed to “the grave violations committed by the terrorist Dagalo militia against unarmed civilians,” which have been condemned by the international community.
The minister added that the Council discussed the humanitarian situation in the country, the security threats, and the army’s readiness for ongoing and future operations, affirming the nation’s “legitimate national right” to defend the homeland against the rebellion.
The Council affirmed its welcome of international efforts to end the suffering of the Sudanese people, praising the role of the United States and President Trump’s adviser, Massad Boulos. At the same time, it emphasized the continuation of the general mobilization and the rallying of the Sudanese people to support the army in the “Battle of Dignity,” noting the formation of a national committee to develop a vision for facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid.
The meeting comes amid reports circulating about a U.S. document titled “Framework of a Declaration of Principles for a Humanitarian Truce Across Sudanese Territory,” which includes proposals for determining the duration of the ceasefire and mechanisms for international monitoring.
The move is seen as a new test for the Sudanese government between the option of a conditional truce or proceeding with a military resolution, especially after the massacres committed by the RSF in Al Fashir, which have sparked widespread domestic calls to reject any ceasefire unless clear guarantees are provided to end foreign support for the militia.
