Furthermore, the Rapid Support Forces envoy explained the party's support for the Jeddah truce talks which the Sudanese Armed Forces, led by General Abdul Fattah al-Burhan, announced halting its participation about a week ago.

The meeting of the Kenyan leader and RSF representative also discussed the African role in stopping war and explored avenues to concentrate regional and international efforts toward a political solution in Sudan.

According to World Health Organization (WHO), the death toll in the Sudanese war, which started on April 15, rose to reach over 600 people with millions of others displaced inside and outside the country, the United Nations mentioned.
