Indirect preliminary talks between Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) took place in Washington D.C. last week as part of preparations for formal ceasefire negotiations. The two-day meetings aim to stabilize the country after over a year and a half of conflict, focusing on three main issues: a ceasefire, transitional security arrangements, and post-war status. Each delegation met separately with U.S. officials under the supervision of the U.S. Deputy Secretary of State. These talks represent an advanced step in negotiations, building upon earlier high-level efforts. The discussions are military-to-military, excluding Sudan's Foreign Ministry and Ambassador to Washington from the process. Coordination with the African Union is ongoing alongside continued involvement by the Quartet comprising the United States, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE.
