UNITED NATIONS, United States, Dec 23, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Sudan's prime minister on Monday called on the UN Security Council to stand "on the right side of history" by backing a peace plan for the war-torn country that calls for a ceasefire and global monitoring of the conflict. Since April 2023, Sudan's army has battled the paramilitary forces of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which controls the west and parts of the south, in fighting that has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions. Idris pledged to organize free elections following a transition period to allow for "inter-Sudanese dialogue." The Sudanese PM did not, however, meet with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, according to a UN spokesperson. In November, US President Donald Trump voiced willingness to help end the conflict, but talks led by the United States and other mediators of the so-called "Quad" -- Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates -- remain at an impasse.
