Sudanese factions meet in Jeddah for ceasefire talks.

Envoys of warring factions in Sudan are holding talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to address the humanitarian crisis caused by the conflict, but not to end the war. The talks are the first serious attempt to end the fighting that has killed hundreds and triggered a mass exodus. However, there is no sign of lasting relief, and numerous ceasefires have been violated since the conflict erupted on 15 April. The scope of the talks is limited, and analysts have advised caution on the outcome, noting the presence of hardliners in the delegations and recent RSF territorial gains that may dissuade the powerful militia from concessions now.
