Sudan's Warring Factions to Hold Talks in Saudi Arabia Amid Ongoing Conflict

Representatives of two rival Sudanese generals are expected to meet in Saudi Arabia to discuss terms of a cease-fire and mechanisms for allowing humanitarian aid into the country. The U.S. State Department and the Saudi foreign ministry have helped organize the meeting, which would take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The fighting in Sudan has left at least 550 people dead and nearly half a million displaced, according to Sudanese government statistics and the United Nations.
