Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe leader of Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces visited Ethiopia yesterday where he said he discussed the need for a swift end to the war between the RSF and the Sudanese army, during the second leg of a rare publicly-announced foreign tour. Diplomatic efforts, including Saudi and United States-led talks in Jeddah, have made little visible progress toward halting the conflict in Sudan. The RSF has recently made military gains, taking control of Wad Madani, one of Sudan’s major cities, and consolidating its grip on the western region of Darfur. Ethiopian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Demeke Mekonnen earlier met Dagalo, commonly known as Hemedti, at Ethiopia’s Bole International Airport. Reuters was not immediately able to verify if Dagalo had been on the aircraft’s previous flight.
