ALBAWABA - Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry announced the resumption of the peace talks between Sudanese parties, local media reported on Thursday.
The ministry said that Sudanese warring factions; Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF), are open to new peace talks in Jeddah.
Arab News reported citing the Foreign Ministry saying Saudi Arabia welcomed the new talks and said peace talks were sponsored by Saudi Arabia and the United States, in partnership with a joint representative of the African Union and the Intergovernmental Authority for Development.
Earlier, peace talks were halted by Saudi Arabia and the US in June after numerous ceasefire violations.
War in Sudan began on April 15 between RSF, which is led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, generally referred to as Hemedti, and SAF, headed by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
Over 5,000 civilians were killed, and more than 12,000 were injured, according to human rights organization, Amnesty International, in addition to the displacement of over 5.7 million people.
Tigere Chagutah, Amnesty International’s Regional Director for East and Southern Africa, said: "Every day, civilians in Sudan are being killed and displaced as the conflict continues to rage; countless lives have been needlessly destroyed in the last six months."
