Clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in Khartoum have eased. Washington and Riyadh have been active in mediating between the army and Rapid Support.
The parties to the conflict accepted the extension of the truce 3 times, at the request of the mediators, although it was not respected. The two capitals invited them to Jeddah to stabilize the truce and create a positive atmosphere, allowing its subsequent development into a permanent ceasefire under international control, sources say.
