The Sudanese Armed Forces and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) will resume peace negotiations this week in the Saudi port city of Jeddah on Thursday, the Sudanese army announced.According to the army, the talks will begin with humanitarian issues, including the delivery of aid to the war zones. The second stage will involve the ceasefire, and the final stage will concern the political track of efforts to end hostilities in the nation, Kabashi added.Since April 15, Sudan has been embroiled in violent clashes between the Sudanese army and the RSF, with Khartoum as the epicenter. Since then, several temporary nationwide ceasefires have been declared, but none have helped to resolve the conflict.In late September, RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo announced his readiness for a ceasefire and a return to negotiations. Shortly thereafter, the agreement to return to negotiations was announced to the media by the army head, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.More than 4,000 people have been killed in Sudan as a result of the conflict, according to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. The International Committee of the Red Cross said that months of fighting in the country could lead to disease outbreaks and a fatal collapse of the health system.

Sudan Army Says Peace Talks to Resume in Saudi Arabia on Thursday
In May, the parties to the conflict began peace talks in Saudi Arabia, promising to refrain from attacks and allow humanitarian aid to move freely throughout the country, but have since repeatedly accused each other of violating the agreements.
The Sudanese Armed Forces and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) will resume peace negotiations this week in the Saudi port city of Jeddah on Thursday, the Sudanese army announced.
"We received an invitation to go to Jeddah to resume the negotiations," Shams-Eddin Kabashi, deputy commander of the Sudanese Army, said in a speech to army officers at Wadi Seidna military base in Omdurman. "Our delegation will go to Jeddah and begin negotiations on coming Thursday."
According to the army, the talks will begin with humanitarian issues, including the delivery of aid to the war zones. The second stage will involve the ceasefire, and the final stage will concern the political track of efforts to end hostilities in the nation, Kabashi added.
Since April 15, Sudan has been embroiled in violent clashes between the Sudanese army and the
RSF, with Khartoum as the epicenter. Since then, several temporary nationwide ceasefires have been declared, but none have helped to resolve the conflict.
Representatives of the army and RSF had been holding talks in Jeddah mediated by Washington and Riyadh for several months since May, but they broke off in late July.
In late September, RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo announced his readiness for a ceasefire and a return to negotiations. Shortly thereafter, the agreement to return to negotiations
was announced to the media by the army head, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
More than 4,000 people have been killed in Sudan as a result of the conflict, according to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. The International Committee of the Red Cross said that months of fighting in the country could lead to disease outbreaks and a fatal collapse of the health system.
The number of internally displaced people in Sudan has surpassed 7 million, according to the UN's International Organization for Migration.
