Sudan's Rival Military Factions Meet Face-to-Face for First Time in Saudi Arabia Talks.

Sudan's rival military factions, the Sudanese army and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF), are meeting in person for the first time in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for "pre-negotiation" talks organized by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. The two countries have urged the factions to resolve the conflict and ensure that humanitarian aid can safely reach affected areas. The factions agreed to a week-long ceasefire in anticipation of the talks, which started on Thursday. The power struggle over who gets to run the resource-rich nation of Sudan has been brewing for months, and since April, over 500 people have been killed and about 4,500 others have been injured by the conflict.

Sudan's military factions to hold talks in Saudi Arabia amidst ongoing conflict.

Sudan's rival military factions, the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), are set to hold face-to-face talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, aimed at ending the unrest that began last month. The US and Saudi Arabia have welcomed the start of the "pre-negotiation" discussions and called on both factions to "actively engage in the talks towards a ceasefire and end to the conflict." Meanwhile, the RSF is reportedly taking control of strategically located hospitals that can be used as bases for the paramilitary force.

Sudan ceasefire doubts persist despite US announcement.

Warring parties in Sudan have agreed to a 72-hour ceasefire from midnight on Monday, according to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. This is at least the third ceasefire to be announced since violence erupted this month but none have held. The UN Secretary General has warned the violence in Sudan risks causing a "catastrophic conflagration" that could engulf the whole region and beyond. The ceasefire will hopefully allow civilians to leave the city and foreign governments to continue evacuations out of the country.

Sudanese factions postpone agreement on civilian rule after coup.

The signing of an agreement to name a Sudanese civilian government has been postponed to April 6 due to a lack of consensus on some outstanding issues, according to a spokesman for the negotiation process. The talks have stalled over the integration of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a powerful paramilitary group accused of war crimes, into the regular army. Reform of the security forces is a key point of contention in the talks, which envisage an exit of generals from politics once a civilian government is installed.
