40 dead and dozens injured in North Darfur as Sudan violence intensifies: Fighting has intensified across Sudan following the end of the temporary ceasefire, with at least 40 people dead and dozens more injured in North Darfur state, reports Reuters.

Ceasefire, peace talks collapse: The Saudi and US-brokered truce expired on Saturday, a few days after the Sudanese army quit peace talks blaming the RSF for failing to respect the terms of the ceasefire. The two sides had been engaged in talks in Jeddah for more than three weeks. The talks allowed limited humanitarian aid access but failed to bring an end to the fighting in the nation’s capital.

Saudi Arabia, US not giving up: Saudi Arabia and the US yesterday called on both sides to return to the negotiating table and agree to a new ceasefire. In a joint statement, the two sides said they remain in daily contact with representatives of the army and the RSF, and are holding discussions about facilitating humanitarian relief and restarting peace talks.
