Can Sudan ceasefire renewal bring end to conflict? JUBA, SOUTH SUDAN: The situation in Sudan was under international scrutiny all last week after Saudi Arabia and the US mediated a ceasefire on May 22 following five weeks of fighting. The deal, and the talks leading up to it, aimed to address issues such as ceasefire violations, humanitarian access, and military reform. While the RSF has expressed its willingness to discuss a truce renewal, there has been no clear statement from its adversary. Akol Miyen Kuol, a regional expert based in South Sudan, told Arab News that achieving a permanent ceasefire should be the top priority of negotiators.
