Sudan's army has suspended its participation in ceasefire talks with its paramilitary foes, a spokesman said on Wednesday. The move raises fears of a renewed escalation in fighting that has already displaced hundreds of thousands of people.
Talks with the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which it has been battling for weeks for control of the country, had resulted in several promises to protect civilians as well as two ceasefire deals that have been consistently breached.
