The United States and Saudi Arabia are pushing forward with peace talks to address the 16-month conflict in Sudan, despite the Sudanese military's reluctance to commit to negotiations.
The conflict, which pits the Sudanese army against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has led to a humanitarian crisis, with over 10.7 million people displaced and thousands killed. The United Nations has warned that the situation in Sudan is reaching a 'catastrophic breaking point.' While the RSF has agreed to attend the talks, the absence of the Sudanese military casts doubt on the potential for a peaceful resolution.
The U.S. envoy remains hopeful that discussions will proceed, aiming to bring an end to the violence that has engulfed the nation.

Maybe it's time we let Sudan handle its own affairs instead of pushing for interventions that rarely pan out as planned.
