A statement issued by the office of the official spokesman for the armed forces said: “In response to a generous invitation from the two mediating countries in the Jeddah platform (the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United States) to resume the negotiating process with the rebel Rapid Support militia, and in the belief of the Sudanese Armed Forces that negotiation is one of the means that may end the war.” We accepted the invitation to go to Jeddah to complete what was previously agreed upon.”
He added: “It is the full implementation of the Jeddah Declaration, to facilitate humanitarian work and the return of our citizens and normal life to the cities where the rebels have looted, burned, indiscriminately bombed, and raped. We hope that the rebel militia will adhere to what was previously agreed upon this time. Resuming negotiations does not mean stopping the battle for national dignity.” .
He continued: “Eliminating and defeating the rebels is the goal of the Sudanese people and the Sudanese Armed Forces, and they are committed to this goal to put the country on the right track.”
Since mid-April, Sudan has been experiencing dangerous security and humanitarian conditions due to the ongoing fighting between the army and the Rapid Support Forces in the capital, Khartoum, and a number of other regions of the country.
The conflict led to the deaths of about 10,000 people, the displacement of more than 6 million, and caused economic losses estimated at tens of billions of dollars.
