Sudan’s army has reportedly suspended its participation in talks over a ceasefire and humanitarian access...raising fears of renewed fighting that has displaced tens of thousands of people. The talks with the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) had began in the Saudi Arabian port city of Jeddah in early May and had produced a declaration of commitments to protect civilians and two short-term ceasefire deals that have been repeatedly violated. The army and the RSF had agreed to extend a weeklong ceasefire deal by five days just before it was due to expire late on Monday. Fighting had already been reported yesterday both in Khartoum's metropolitan area and in the western region of Darfur. Both sides have accused each other of breaking the ceasefire by carrying out actions that violate the truce deal. The RSF has accused the army of violating the truce, saying that its militias would "exercise the right to defend themselves. The truce was brokered and was being remotely monitored by Saudi Arabia and the United States, which said that it has been violated by both sides. This protracted fight has left the civilians in dire need of aid, ffod, essential supplies and help. According to UN figures, around 25 million people in Sudan are in need of aid and protection, with entire districts of Khartoum being without running water and receiving only a couple of hours of electricity per week. #Sudantairstrike #RSFSudan#Sudanfighting ~HT.98~PR.153~ED.155~

Ukraine Peace Talks: Saudi Arabia-led peace talks summit to begin tomorrow sans Russia I Oneindia

Saudi Arabia is all set to host Ukraine, the U.S., some European countries and major developing countries for peace talks on the Russia-Ukraine war on August 5 and 6 in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah. India has also confirmed its active participation in this much-anticipated peace summit saying it is in line with her position that dialogue and diplomacy is the only way forward. The summit comes when there seems to be no end to the stalemate between Russia and Ukraine and drone warfare between the two countries are becoming new normal. Russia has not been invited for the talks but it says that it will indeed be keeping a very close watch on this summit where Ukraine would be seeking to garner support for its 10-point peace plan proposed last year. The most crucial question is whether this peace summit would be able to achieve anything substantial. Whether the world would be able to thaw the ice between Russia and Ukraine. #Ukrainepeacetalks #Saudiukrainepeacetalksjeddah #Ukrainepeacesummit ~PR.153~ED.194~HT.178~
