Sudan Peace Talks Fail as War Turns 'Homes Into Cemeteries'

Conflicting groups in Sudan have not agreed on an instant ceasefire. The conclusion of the latest round of negotiations in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, facilitated by the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), indicates that there is no assurance that the rival factions, the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), will soon come to a peace agreement. However, the co-facilitators claim to have forced the parties to agree to reestablish direct communication and establish humanitarian corridors.

The war between the rival militaries in Sudan is growing in scope and brutality, having driven almost six million people from their homes since it erupted in April and worsening an already complex humanitarian emergency, the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) warned on Tuesday November 7, 2023.

Fighting between the RSF and the SAF continues in the country's capital. At least 12 people were killed when missiles hit a poor neighbourhood in Omdurman on Saturday November 4, 2023. The RSF launched a new attack on the El Shajara military complex in southwest Khartoum.
