Red Cross Negotiates Release of 125 Sudanese Soldiers Held Captive

The International Committee of the Red Cross facilitated the release of 125 Sudanese soldiers detained by the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group.
The soldiers were transported from Khartoum to Wad Madani and included 44 who were wounded.
The release comes after 11 weeks of conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces that has displaced nearly 2 million people.
The Red Cross has acted as an intermediary between the armed forces and paramilitary group to evacuate civilians and now negotiate prisoner releases.
The conflict in Sudan has created a humanitarian crisis with 25 million people in need of aid.
