Resumed Sudanese Ceasefire Talks Seek Humanitarian Relief

The United States, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Intergovernmental Authority for Development (IGAD) have reconvened ceasefire talks between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in an effort to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance, establish ceasefires, and work towards a permanent cessation of hostilities. The talks will not address broader political issues, as Sudan's civilians are expected to define the country's path forward and play a leading role in addressing political matters. The United States urges the SAF and RSF to approach the talks constructively and calls on all external actors to avoid escalating the conflict, emphasizing the need to end the violence and restore civilian governance in Sudan.
