"The Sudanese government has repeatedly emphasized its commitment to the Jeddah [negotiations] platform, its appreciation for the efforts of Saudi Arabia and the United States, and its readiness to resume participation [in the peace talks] once the objective requirements for the successful negotiations are met," Al-Sadiq said. The most important requirements include the RSF fulfilling its obligations under the Jeddah deal on the evacuation of civilian and public facilities, hospitals and civilian homes, which the paramilitary group has been using as barracks, the diplomat added. Al-Sadiq also told Sputnik that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed Russia's solidarity with the Sudanese people and voiced support for the government's legitimacy during his meeting with Malik Agar, the chairman of the Sudanese Transitional Sovereignty Council, in June. Lavrov also said that Moscow would "provide any assistance requested by the Sudanese government," Al-Sadiq added. On April 15, violent clashes broke out between the Sudanese army and the RSF paramilitary force. The parties to the conflict have introduced a number of temporary nationwide ceasefires since then, but none has helped in settling the conflict. The United Nations has said the death toll from the conflict runs into hundreds. In May, the parties to the conflict launched peace talks in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah. They pledged during negotiations to refrain from attacks and allow the unfettered movement of humanitarian assistance throughout the country, but since then, have repeatedly accused each other of violating the agreements. In late July, the parties broke off the negotiations.

Sudanese Authorities Say Ready to Resume Peace Negotiations If RSF Fulfills Obligations
KHARTOUM (Sputnik) - The Sudanese government is ready to return to peace negotiations with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group, provided that the latter fulfills its obligations under the agreements reached in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah, acting Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Al-Sadiq told Sputnik.
"The Sudanese government has repeatedly emphasized its commitment to the Jeddah [negotiations] platform, its appreciation for the efforts of Saudi Arabia and the United States, and its readiness to resume participation [in the peace talks] once the objective requirements for the successful negotiations are met," Al-Sadiq said. The most important requirements include the RSF fulfilling its obligations under the Jeddah deal on the evacuation of civilian and public facilities, hospitals and civilian homes, which the paramilitary group has been using as barracks, the diplomat added.
"They [RSF] have used previous humanitarian breaks to occupy more citizen's homes and buildings of public services, strengthen their positions and receive new supplies," he said.
Al-Sadiq also told Sputnik that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed Russia's solidarity with the Sudanese people and voiced support for the government's legitimacy during his meeting with Malik Agar, the chairman of the Sudanese Transitional Sovereignty Council, in June. Lavrov also said that Moscow would "provide any assistance requested by the Sudanese government," Al-Sadiq added.
