Sudan’s army chief has indicated he may send representatives to the new, US-led talks, in Switzerland due next week, if civilians are supplied with humanitarian aid.

This week, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken phoned the Chairman of the Transitional Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, about the planned peace talks due on August 14, but which parties -- Sudan’s army and rivals Rapid Support Forces -- have been noncommittal about attending.
