Formal talks aimed at ending the war in Sudan may restart in mid-April, US Special Envoy for Sudan Tom Perriello said Tuesday, as the conflict nears its one-year mark.
Perriello told reporters that the formal talks are not expected to start until after Ramadan, with a potential date of April 18.
The war has claimed thousands of lives, displaced millions, and triggered “the world’s largest hunger crisis,” according to the UN.
“We are trying to figure out what combination of actors and incentives can get this war to an end,” he added.
He also noted that reports of Islamist extremists returning to Sudan ratchets up the urgency of bringing the war to an end.
