In recent developments concerning Sudan, the Sudanese Armed Forces have decided not to participate in the ceasefire talks mediated by the US and Saudi Arabia, despite the ongoing conflict that has ravaged the country for over a year. The talks aim to address the strife between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which are accused of committing severe atrocities, including indiscriminate killings and ethnically motivated attacks.
