Sudan’s Army Suspends Participation in Ceasefire Talks

HeadlineMay 31, 2023

The Sudanese army has suspended its participation in ceasefire talks as a shaky truce with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, set to expire Monday, has been punctured by ongoing fighting in and around the capital Khartoum. The talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, aimed to protect and bring much needed humanitarian aid to the civilian population. The war has forcibly displaced 1.4 million people in the past six weeks, while the U.N. says some 25 million people — over half the population — need assistance.
