RSF says it ‘fully backs’ Trump-brokered Sudan peace push

November 21, 2025 (KHARTOUM) – The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Friday announced a full and serious response to peace initiatives, after U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to launch an immediate peace initiative.

US President Donald Trump had announced at the conclusion of his talks with the Saudi Crown Prince in Washington last Wednesday that immediate work would begin to end the war in Sudan, in response to the Saudi Crown Prince’s request.

The RSF spokesman said in a statement on Friday that the Rapid Support Forces are following the intensive international movements regarding the situation in Sudan with great interest and appreciation.

The statement thanked US President Donald Trump and the leaders of the Quad countries for their appreciated efforts and good offices to mediate in the Sudanese conflict to stop what it called “the war imposed upon them” and end the suffering of the Sudanese people, according to the statement.

The statement continued, “As we announce our full and serious response to these initiatives, we confirm to the Sudanese people and the international community that the real obstacle to achieving peace is the gang controlling the decision of the armed forces—composed of remnants of the defunct regime and leaders of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood organization—who ignited this war with the aim of returning to power over the innocent’s remains.”

The RSF pledged that the “Rapid Support Forces will move forward toward addressing the roots of the crisis and building a new Sudan with a single, professional national army free of extremist ideologies.”

Al-Burhan responded to Trump’s announcement on social media, posting on X: “Thank you, His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Thank you, President Trump.”
