Sudan's warring parties were continuing face-to-face talks on Monday in the Saudi Red Sea city of Jeddah as international mediators pressed to end a conflict that has left nearly 600 people dead forced thousands to flee the country.
The US-Saudi initiative is the first serious attempt to end fighting between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) that has turned parts of the Sudanese capital Khartoum into war zones and derailed an internationally backed plan to usher in civilian rule following years of unrest and uprisings.
