Head of the transitional council and Sudan’s army chief Abdul Fattah al-Burhan held telephone talks on Tuesday with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah.

He expressed to the minister his “trust” in the Jeddah platform that is aimed at achieving sustainable peace in his country.

In a statement, the transitional council said Burhan underlined the need for the Rapid Support Forces to withdraw from hospitals and homes. They must evacuate the wounded and facilitate the passage of humanitarian aid so that the Jeddah talks could achieve their goals.

Earlier this, week Saudi Arabia and the United States had urged the army and RSF to agree on a new ceasefire that should be effectively implemented with the aim to end the hostilities.

Last week, the Saudi and American mediators suspended the negotiations with the representatives of the warring parties in Jeddah over what they said were both sides’ grave and ongoing violations of the ceasefire.
