U.S. and Saudi to Negotiate Peace Talk and End Conflict in Sudan
After 6 months of bloody conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the para-military force of the country finally agreed to meet for a peace talk mediated by U.S and Saudi Arabia. The conflict which started in April this year has divested the country’s infrastructure destroying nearly 80% of its hospitals. Nearly 7 million people are internally displaced being the highest in the world today. While this is not the first attempt to stop the fighting, both parties tried to wield military advantage against each other but ultimately seem to have laid down.
The aim of the conflict was to attain absolute political and military power over the country. But ended up killing more than 9000 people by the same force which earlier overthrown the previous President of Sudan Omar Al-Bashir. Both sides are facing brunt of the war and are finding it difficult to sustain the war further according to reports. The civilians are facing the most brunt of the war as even hospitals are unable to provide medical aid people due to lack of recourses.
