Fighting rages in Sudan
The United States and Saudi Arabia yesterday made a renewed push for truce talks between Sudan's warring generals as deadly fighting has raged into its eighth week.
Multiple ceasefires have been agreed and broken, and Washington slapped sanctions on the two warring generals on Thursday, blaming both sides for the "appalling" bloodshed.
Envoys of Sudan's regular army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) remained in the Saudi coastal city of Jeddah despite the earlier collapse of ceasefire talks, the kingdom's foreign ministry said.
The foreign mediators called for "the parties to agree to and effectively implement a new ceasefire, with the aim of building to a permanent cessation of hostilities", Riyadh said.
A five-day extension of a US- and Saudi-brokered truce formally expired on Saturday evening.
