Rulers, protesters resume talks in SudanKHARTOUM: Protest leaders had agreed to end a campaign of civil disobedience launched after a deadly crackdown on demonstrators and to resume talks with Sudan’s ruling generals, an Ethiopian mediator said. The apparent breakthrough, which the military rulers had yet to confirm, came as a top US diplomat prepared to embark on a mission to press the generals to halt the crackdown on protesters demanding civilian rule. Sudan has been led by a military council since it toppled autocratic president Omar al-Bashir on April 11, 2019.
