Cairo, August 18 (Xinhua) -- The Sudanese Sovereignty Council announced on August 18 that the Sudanese government will send a delegation to Cairo, the capital of Egypt, to discuss the implementation of the agreement reached in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia last May.

The Sudanese Sovereignty Council issued a statement on the same day saying that after communicating with the US and Egyptian governments, the Sudanese government will send a delegation to Cairo to discuss "the vision of implementing the Jeddah Agreement."

A new round of ceasefire talks between the conflicting parties in Sudan, hosted by the United States, was launched in Geneva, Switzerland on the 14th. Saudi Arabia and Switzerland are the host countries, and the African Union, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and the United Nations are observers. The Sudanese Rapid Support Forces sent a delegation to participate in the talks, while the Sudanese Armed Forces did not. Before the start of this dialogue, the United States and Sudan failed to reach an agreement on whether the Sudanese government delegation or the Sudanese Armed Forces delegation would participate in the dialogue. According to media reports, the Sudanese government also has reservations about the dialogue agenda, observers and moving the dialogue platform to Switzerland.

On April 15, 2023, an armed conflict broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces in the capital Khartoum, and the fighting subsequently spread to other areas. Under the mediation of Saudi Arabia and other countries, the conflicting parties held negotiations and signed an agreement in Jeddah in May last year, agreeing to a short-term ceasefire and making arrangements for humanitarian operations. Since then, the two sides have reached short-term ceasefire agreements many times, but none of them have been effectively implemented. In December last year, Saudi Arabia and other mediators announced that the negotiations between the two sides in Jeddah would be suspended indefinitely. (End)
