The United States, Saudi Arabia, and the Intergovernmental Authority for Development (IGAD) restarted ceasefire and humanitarian talks between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the US Department of State revealed on Sunday.
The talks were held in Saudi Arabia and focused on "a narrow set of objectives - to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance, establish ceasefires and other confidence building measures, and build toward a permanent cessation of hostilities" while "broader political issues" were not discussed, according to State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller.
Washington urged the two opposing sides to "approach the talks constructively, with the imperative to save lives, reduce the fighting, and create a path to a negotiated exit from the conflict" as "there is no acceptable military solution to this conflict."
