The leadership of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), one of Sudan’s warring parties accused of brutality, on Sunday held talks with civilian political movements in a search for peace.

RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Daglo ‘Hemedti’ on New Year’s Eve met with leaders of the Civilian Democratic Forces Committee (Taqaddum) in the Ethiopian capital in a signal of closing ranks between two sides that had been at loggerheads over the country’s transition plan.
