🇺🇳🇸🇩 UN envoy thinks Sudan combatants more open to talks

Warring sides in Sudan are more open to negotiations and have accepted the conflict that erupted two weeks ago cannot continue, a U.N. official told.

Volker Perthes, U.N. special representative in Sudan, said the sides had nominated representatives for talks which had been suggested for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, or Juba in South Sudan, though he said there was a practical question over whether they could get there to "actually sit together". He said no timeline had been set for talks.

The talks about agreement is mostly a set-up for a moment of respite to regroup forces and continue the fighting, since the reasons have not been resolved.
