The Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) will commit to facilitating humanitarian aid and implement trust-building measures, a joint statement by Saudi Arabia, the United States, and the regional African bloc Intergovernmental Authority on Development said on Tuesday.

The statement, carried by the Saudi state news agency (SPA), comes on the heels of a new round of talks between the warring parties that restarted in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea city of Jeddah last month.

The mediators expressed their regret that the two parties had not reached an agreement for a ceasefire, the statement said, and urged them "to put the interests of the Sudanese people first, put down their weapons, and engage in negotiations to end this conflict".

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) launched a project to protect and empower women affected by gender-based violence in the Aden and Taiz governorates of Yemen.

The project is being implemented in cooperation with the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) and the Yemeni Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor.
According to SPA, over 12 months, the project will directly benefit 18,000 displaced women and violence survivors, as well as 325 frontline workers in safe spaces and protection centers. It seeks an indirect impact on around 126,000 individuals.
The project aims to improve the protection of women and girls, build the skills of workers in managing violence cases, expand psychosocial and legal support services, and raise community awareness through women's rights education campaigns.
UN Women Yemen representative Dina Zorba thanked Saudi Arabia, through KSrelief, for its generous support and humanitarian vision prioritizing women's empowerment. She emphasized that the project goes beyond protection services, representing an integrated approach to restoring dignity, enhancing resilience, and empowering women as active partners in peacebuilding and recovery.
The initiative is part of Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts, through KSrelief, to empower women in Yemen and strengthen their positive role in society.
