The Red Cross said Monday it had facilitated the release of 64 Sudanese soldiers held by paramilitaries, as the rival sides meet in Saudi Arabia over six months into war.
The forces of Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy, paramilitary commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, have been locked in deadly fighting since mid-April, killing more than 9,000 people and displacing nearly six million.
