Peace Talks Falter in Sudan Crisis
Sudan’s de facto head of state and military leader of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has frozen the bank accounts of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) group, his office said in a statement on Sunday.
The conflict between the two sides was triggered by a dispute over the paramilitary’s incorporation into the Sudanese military as part of a deal to transition Sudan to a civilian-led government.

Truth and understanding
The Media Line's intrepid correspondents are in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and Pakistan providing first-person reporting.
They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
Earlier this week, Sudan’s warring factions signed a “declaration of commitment” in Jeddah, following nearly a week of talks mediated by the US and Saudi Arabia.
Despite the declaration, the RSF resumed heavy artillery attacks and airstrikes on the Sudanese capital city of Khartoum days later.
The conflict has seen hundreds of casualties and caused more than 200,000 people to flee to neighboring states, with an additional 700,000 internally displaced.
None of the six mediated humanitarian cease-fires have held so far.
