The United States is set to proceed with peace talks in Switzerland aimed at securing a humanitarian ceasefire in Sudan, despite the Sudanese government’s refusal to participate. U.S. Special Envoy Tom Perriello expressed disappointment at the Sudanese government's decision, which cited concerns over the UAE's involvement and the need for assurance on the Jeddah agreement. The conflict, ongoing since April 2023, has led to over 10.7 million displacements and thousands of deaths, with the UN warning that Sudan is at a 'catastrophic breaking point'. While the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have agreed to attend the talks, the Sudanese military has yet to confirm its participation, complicating the possibility of effective mediation. Previous peace efforts have failed, and the humanitarian crisis continues to worsen due to ongoing violence and recent devastating floods. The U.S. remains committed to facilitating negotiations and addressing violations of international humanitarian law during the talks.
