Sudan has descended into crisis since the war between the army led by Gen Al Burhan, the country's de facto leader, and the RSF, commanded by his former ally Gen Mohamed Dagalo, broke out on April 15 last year. Saudi Arabia was expected to host a new round of peace talks this week in Jeddah, where the kingdom and the US have already mediated several rounds of negotiations without success. People drink water from a recently dug well in Sudan's eastern state of Gedaref amid continuing fighting between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces. “Our fight against the rebel terrorist Rapid Support militia will not stop except by liberating this country from these criminal rebels,” Gen Al Burhan said. The RSF has seized four out of five state capitals in the Darfur region, home to around one quarter of Sudan's 48 million people.
