In a statement, the paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, said it looked forward to implementing the agreement.

Earlier in September, the United States, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates proposed a three-month humanitarian truce, followed by a permanent ceasefire.

Fighting between the RSF and the Sudanese armed forces has been going on for more than two years now.

The warring factions have created
