The United States and Saudi Arabia are pushing forward with peace talks to address the 16-month conflict in Sudan, despite the Sudanese military's reluctance to commit to negotiations.
The conflict, which pits the Sudanese army against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has led to a humanitarian crisis, with over 10.7 million people displaced and thousands killed. The United Nations has warned that the situation in Sudan is reaching a 'catastrophic breaking point.' While the RSF has agreed to attend the talks, the absence of the Sudanese military casts doubt on the potential for a peaceful resolution.
The U.S. envoy remains hopeful that discussions will proceed, aiming to bring an end to the violence that has engulfed the nation.
