The United States is making progress in securing an agreement for a 90-day ceasefire between the Sudanese Armed Forces, or SAF, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, followed by political negotiations, even though both sides are still seeking amendments to U.S. proposals, Ayin Network reported on July 13 based on conversations with unnamed diplomatic sources. Disagreements reportedly center on the extent to which the RSF will withdraw from its current positions, and pragmatic and hard-line elements of the SAF are reportedly divided over U.S. plans to exclude members of the former National Congress Party and the Islamist movement from the political dialogue following a tentative ceasefire.

The Trump administration first issued proposals for a 90-day humanitarian truce in Sudan with Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in September 2025, but the SAF rejected the plan at the time. The National Congress Party was former President Omar al Bashir's political party, and it was disbanded in 2019 following his ousting.
