The warring sides in Sudan have agreed to a framework that U.S. and Saudi facilitators say could lead to a cease-fire, however brief, allowing forAfter six days of talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, senior State Department officials said representatives of the Sudanese armed forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have signed a “Declaration of Commitment to Protect the Civilians of Sudan,” recognizing their moral and international legal obligations in the midst of unrelenting combat.
The officials, who briefed reporters late Thursday, acknowledged the limited nature of the achievement. What have been called “pre-negotiations” will not stop the fighting or change the withering assaults on the ground that have caused the shutdown of hospitals and schools, cut off electricity and water and confined most of those who have not been killed or fled to their homes since the conflict began on April 15.
The next step, should this first one succeed, the officials said, is to begin actual negotiations over a genuine cease-fire monitored with international assistance.
