Earlier this month, Guterres said the United Nations was preparing talks with both sides in Geneva, but without specifying a date. Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said last week he was ready to work with Trump to resolve the conflict, following talks in Riyadh with Prince Mohammed. Saudi Arabia is part of a four-nation mediation group, alongside the United States, United Arab Emirates and Egypt, that has stepped up diplomatic efforts in recent months. Egypt, a key ally of Sudan's army, warned on Thursday that escalating violence "directly affects Egyptian national security" and stressed that preserving Sudanese state institutions remains a "red line".
