Mediators suspended negotiations between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and a paramilitary group the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for an indefinite period, the Sudan Tribune reported, citing sources.Earlier, the SAF and the RSF resumed negotiations in Saudi city of Jeddah. Despite this, armed clashes continued in the country. On November 7, the parties agreed on a number of confidence-building measures and steps to increase humanitarian assistance to the affected areas.According to the report, the mediators from Saudi Arabia, the United States and the African Union decided to suspend negotiations indefinitely due to the fact that both sides did not fulfill their obligations.The sources added that the negotiations reached an impasse when the RSF rejected the Sudanese army's demand to withdraw its forces from cities and civilian facilities and insisted on maintaining its bases in the Sudanese capital Khartoum.The fighting between the RSF under the command of the head of Sudan's Transitional Sovereignty Council, Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo and the regular army under the General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan command broke out on April 15. The sides are exchanging contradictory statements about successes in combat operations and control over facilities, waging a large-scale information war in the media and social networks. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said the months-long fighting in the country could lead to outbreaks of disease and a fatal collapse of the health system. According to the United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM), the number of internally displaced persons in Sudan has exceeded 7 million.

Talks Between RSF, Sudanese Armed Forces Suspended by Mediators for Indefinite Period, Media Says
Since April, Sudan witnessed armed clashes between the Sudanese armed forces and a paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). After a number of failed ceasefires, the parties in late October resumed negotiations, mediated by Saudi Arabia.
Mediators suspended negotiations between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and a paramilitary group the
Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for an indefinite period, the Sudan Tribune reported, citing sources.
Earlier, the SAF and the RSF resumed negotiations in Saudi city of Jeddah. Despite this, armed clashes continued in the country. On November 7, the parties agreed on a number of
confidence-building measures and steps to increase humanitarian assistance to the affected areas.
According to the report, the mediators from Saudi Arabia, the United States and the African Union decided to suspend negotiations indefinitely due to the fact that both sides did not fulfill their obligations.
The sources added that the negotiations reached
an impasse when the RSF rejected the Sudanese army's demand to withdraw its forces from cities and civilian facilities and insisted on maintaining its bases in the Sudanese capital Khartoum.
The fighting between the RSF under the command of the head of Sudan's Transitional Sovereignty Council, Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo and the regular army under the General Abdel Fattah
al-Burhan command broke out on April 15. The sides are exchanging
contradictory statements about successes in combat operations and control over facilities, waging a large-scale information war in the media and social networks.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said the months-long fighting in the country could lead to
outbreaks of disease and a fatal collapse of the health system. According to the United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM), the number of internally displaced persons in Sudan has exceeded 7 million.
