The leaders of Sudan's warring military factions have agreed to start preliminary talks in Jeddah aimed at ending the conflict, according to Saudi Arabia and the United States.
The two countries welcomed the start of"pre-negotiation" discussions, to take place on Saturday, and called on both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces to"actively engage in the talks towards a ceasefire and end to the conflict" in Sudan.
A temporary ceasefire is currently allowing foreign nations to evacuate their citizens -- but locals face deteriorating conditions and shortages of food, water, medicine and fuel.Meanwhile, people on the ground in the country have told CNN that RSF fighters are trying to take control of"strategically located" hospitals that can be used as bases for the paramilitary force.
He said the RSF was targeting hospitals because it needed cover from air strikes,"especially after their main military bases were completely destroyed by the army in the first few days of the war." CNN has been unable to contact the hospital due to network connectivity issues in Sudan. However, it has obtained a widely circulated statement reportedly issued by the Omdurman Maternity Hospital administration that says the hospital was"attacked" at dawn on Thursday by RSF forces.
