Sudanrivaler hävdar att de är redo för fredssamtal
Sudans arméchef Abdel Fattah al-Burhan öppnar för fredssamtal med rivalen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, som leder paramilitära Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Det säger al-Burhan i en intervju med BBC.
– Vi är redo att delta i förhandlingar – så länge ledningen för dessa upproriska krafter vill agera förnuftigt och få sina trupper att lämna bostadsområden, säger han.
I ett videoklipp publicerat i veckan sa Dagalo, även kallad Hemedti, att även han var redo att samtala med sin motpart.
Hittills har över 5 000 människor dött till följd av våldet och minst fem miljoner har tvingats lämna sina hem.

Väpnade konflikten i Sudan 2023
Wikipedia (en)
A war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), rival factions of the military government of Sudan, began on 15 April 2023, with the fighting concentrated around the capital city of Khartoum and the Darfur region. Later, a faction of the militant Sudan People's Liberation Movement–North (SPLM-N) led by Abdelaziz al-Hilu, also fought the SAF in regions bordering South Sudan and Ethiopia. As of 15 August 2023, between 4,000 and 10,000 people had been killed and 6,000 to 12,000 others injured, while as of 12 September 2023, over 4.1 million were internally displaced and more than 1.1 million others had fled the country as refugees.The war began with attacks by the RSF on government sites as airstrikes, artillery, and gunfire were reported across Sudan. Throughout the conflict, RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan "Hemedti" Dagalo and Sudan's de facto leader and army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan have disputed control of government sites in Khartoum, including the general military headquarters, the Presidential Palace, Khartoum International Airport, Burhan's official residence, and the SNBC headquarters, as well as states and towns in Darfur and Kordofan. The two sides were then joined by rebel groups who had previously fought against the two sides. Starting in June, the SPLM-N (al-Hilu) attacked army positions in the south of the country. In July, a faction of the Sudan Liberation Movement led by Mustafa Tambour (SLM-T) officially joined the war in support of the SAF, while in August, the rebel Tamazuj movement based in Darfur and Kordofan joined forces with the RSF.
