Sudan Peace Talks Begin Without Key Military Presence

US-led negotiations aim to end 16-month war despite absence of Sudanese army, exacerbating humanitarian crisis.

The Sudanese army refused to attend the Geneva talks, citing unmet conditions by the RSF.
The conflict has displaced nearly 11 million people and left over 25 million facing acute hunger.
International actors, including the US, UAE, and UN, are pushing for a ceasefire and humanitarian access.
The RSF attended the talks but continued military operations in several regions.
Observers warn of tens of thousands of preventable deaths without immediate global intervention.
