The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) accused the Sudanese National Army of not being serious about negotiating, saying it backed down at the “last minute” from signing an agreement to stop hostilities after the Saudi-US mediation began preparing the signing arrangements. Advisor to RSF Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, Fares al-Nour, accused the “other delegation” of obstructing the negotiation. Nour is also a member of the negotiating delegation to the Jeddah platform.
