The international community has pledged its support for the process and urged all stakeholders to prioritize the well-being of the Sudanese people. As the negotiations commence, it remains to be seen whether the parties will be willing to compromise and reach a mutually acceptable solution.

The talks are scheduled to take place next week in Geneva. The RSF’s acceptance stands in contrast to earlier statements by Army Commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who rejected negotiations that could lead to an end to the war. However, the RSF has emphasized that it is committed to alleviating the suffering of the Sudanese people and will participate in discussions aimed at addressing the humanitarian situation. The UN’s Special Envoy Ramtane Lamamra sent a letter to Burhan on June 26, proposing the indirect talks to facilitate access to aid for the war-affected population and protect civilians. The UN Security Council Resolution 2736 calls for unhindered humanitarian aid to those in need. The negotiations are expected to focus on finding ways to improve the delivery of assistance to areas affected by the conflict and to protect civilians from violence. The aim is to create a roadmap for addressing the humanitarian crisis and taking steps towards ending the war.International Call for Sudanese Army, RSF to Hold Indirect Negotiations [City, Date] – The international community has called on the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to engage in indirect negotiations to resolve the ongoing political crisis in the country.
