Sudan's warring military factions signed a commitment to respect humanitarian principles in their spiraling conflict late Thursday but they did not reach a ceasefire in talks described by United States (US) diplomats as difficult. | ManilaBulletin
Nearly one month after the eruption of violence that has killed more than 750 people, injured 5,000 and displaced more than 900,000 others, the two sides promised in talks in the Saudi port city Jeddah to protect civilians, but nothing looked set to change immediately.
The declaration calls for the restoration of electricity, water and other basic services, the withdrawal of security forces from hospitals and “respectful burial” of the dead. “We are hopeful, cautiously, that their willingness to sign this document will create some momentum that will force them to create the space” to bring in relief supplies, she said.
The UN-led support mission for Sudan, which also includes the African Union and regional IGAD bloc, also welcomed the declaration and called on the warring factions to “convey clear and unequivocal instructions to lower ranks” to allow humanitarian access.
