Malik Agar Ayyir Proposes Peace Plan for Sudan

Malik Agar Ayyir, the deputy chairman of Sudan's transitional government and chairman of a militia group, has proposed a peace plan to end the nation's civil war. The initiative focuses on transitioning to democratic civilian rule by dissolving non-state armed groups and restoring the state's monopoly on arms.

Agar suggests establishing a series of dialogues among actors aligned with the internationally recognized government to determine the future of national governance and the role of the Sudanese Armed Forces. He notes that success depends on acknowledging the influence of external actors, specifically accusing the United Arab Emirates of supporting the Rapid Support Forces.

The proposal builds upon a 2020 peace deal but maintains a distinction between government dialogues and negotiations between the army and the Rapid Support Forces. Agar continues to rule out direct negotiations with the paramilitary group, treating those discussions as a separate track.
