Sudanese government representatives arrive in Jeddah to continue talks with RSF

(Patria) - Representatives of the Sudanese government have arrived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to continue talks with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Reuters reported, citing sources.

Previous talks in Jeddah, mediated by Saudi Arabia and the United States, were suspended by both countries in early June after numerous ceasefire violations. Saudi Arabia and the US have yet to confirm the resumption of negotiations between the warring Sudanese factions.

Separately, an mediation attempt launched by Egypt began on Thursday, which was welcomed by both the Sudanese army, which has close ties to Egypt, and the RSF.

A series of ceasefires have failed to stop the fighting that broke out on April 15 as the army and the RSF battled for power. The conflict has displaced more than 3 million people, including more than 700,000 who have fled to neighboring countries.

On Saturday, at least four civilians were killed and four injured in a drone attack that targeted a hospital in the city of Omdurman, the Sudanese Ministry of Health announced, accusing the RSF of carrying out the attack.
