Sudan’s military ruler General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has said the talks taking place in Saudi Arabia with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) will have no benefit without a ceasefire.

Al-Burhan’s remarks come as warring factions hold talks in Jeddah in a bid to end the bloodshed that has killed hundreds and triggered a mass exodus.

The United States backed talks began on Saturday between the army and the rival paramilitary RSF.

No progress has been reported so far on the talks, which have focused on the possibility of introducing a lasting ceasefire.
