Talks in Switzerland to secure a ceasefire deal between Sudan’s two warring parties failed this week after the Sudanese military did not send a delegation. But international negotiators succeeded in getting access for humanitarian aid to the country’s conflict and famine-stricken Darfur region, enabling food trucks to make their way to the Zamzam and other camps for displaced people, the UN and US said Friday.
Food aid is on the way to an area of Sudan facing famine amid the northeast African country's grinding conflict, a group of countries and the United Nations said in a joint statement Friday.
