Sudan’s army stayed away from new talks seeking to end on the conflict in the country, even as organisers in Geneva, the venue, said their primary target is to achieve ceasefire.

The Sudan Armed Forces had threatened to boycott the talks called by the US, protesting presence of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as observers as well as being referred to as representatives of the Sudanese army, rather than the Government of Sudan.
