Malik Agar, deputy of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council proposed a road map to end the war that has been ravaging the country for the past 4 months.
Sudan News website revealed that Agar's road map starts with separating the fighting forces to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid.
After handling the immediate humanitarian needs, a political strategy is to be devised for the purpose of consolidating a government rather than splitting administrative authority.
This proposed peace road map followed Agar's meeting with the leadership of the "Women Against War" initiative: in which the latter expressed their women's wishes and determination to stop the war.
The Sudanese official then affirmed that he resonates the objectives of the initiative and expressed his willingness to work with those in charge of the initiative to end the war, especially because the first victims of the war were women.

As violence between the forces of rival generals raged in the western Darfur region, many locals alleged Sunday that Sudan's paramilitaries had forced citizens to leave their houses in the capital's south.
"Members of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) told me I had 24 hours to leave the area," Fawzy Radwan, a Khartoum resident told AFP, after taking care of his family's house since the conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese army broke out in the city more than three months ago.
At least 3,900 people have died and almost 3.5 million people have been displaced as a result of the conflict between army leader Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan and his former deputy, RSF commander Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo.
Many of the fighting incidents have taken place in Khartoum's densely populated neighborhoods, driving 1.7 million people from their homes and forcing the millions of those who are still there to seek refuge from the crossfire in their homes amid scarce water and power.
Some locals said on Sunday that hundreds of residents were being evicted from the Jabra neighborhood in southern Khartoum.
The army artillery corps, as well as an RSF installation that Dagalo uses, are located in Jabra and the adjoining community of Sahafa.
