Sudan’s warring parties have failed to agree on an immediate ceasefire, signaling prolonged fighting even as mediators pushed for a pause and humanitarian corridors.

The outcome of the new round of Jeddah talks in Saudi Arabia, mediated by the Saudi Kingdom, the US and regional bloc Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad) means there is no guarantee that the warring sides; Sudan Armed Forces (Saf) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), will be reaching a peace deal soon.
