The United States on Wednesday adjourned Sudan talks because the format was not succeeding in the way they wanted, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Molly Phee said on Thursday.
Saudi Arabia and the U.S. have brokered ceasefires between Sudan’s army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) at talks in Jeddah, but there have been reports of violations by both sides.
“On Wednesday, yesterday, we adjourned those talks … because the format is not succeeding in the way that we want,” Phee told a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing on Thursday.
Sudan’s army and the RSF have been battling each other for more than two months, wreaking destruction on the capital, triggering widespread violence in the western region of Darfur, and causing more than 2.5 million people to flee their homes.
