Sudan's military factions to hold talks in Saudi Arabia amidst ongoing conflict.
TL;DR
Sudan's rival military factions, the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), are set to hold face-to-face talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, aimed at ending the unrest that began last month. The US and Saudi Arabia have welcomed the start of the "pre-negotiation" discussions and called on both factions to "actively engage in the talks towards a ceasefire and end to the conflict." Meanwhile, the RSF is reportedly taking control of strategically located hospitals that can be used as bases for the paramilitary force.
