The meeting took place in Dubai on Saturday by prior arrangement between the two countries. Last Saturday, violent clashes broke out between the Sudanese regular army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with the epicenter in the country's capital, Khartoum. Government forces accused the RSF of mutiny and launched airstrikes against their bases. Abdel Fattah Burhan, the head of the Sudanese military, issued a decree disbanding the RSF. The sides agreed to a three-day truce starting Friday in connection with the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. The World Health Organization said on Friday that 413 people were killed and 3,551 others were injured. Reports citing Sudan's health ministry suggest the death toll is beyond 600. A number of countries have been evacuating their nationals and diplomats from the conflict-torn African country in cooperation with Middle Eastern countries for land and air transit. The United States has evacuated its embassy staff from Khartoum but not regular US nationals. Russia has evacuated its nationals in Sudan's conflict areas to its embassy in Khartoum.
