Washington: The United States announced Tuesday that it had invited Sudan's warring sides to hold ceasefire talks next month.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Washington had invited Sudan's regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces to start US-mediated negotiations beginning on August 14 in Switzerland.
"The United States remains committed to working with partners to end this devastating war," Blinken said in a statement.
The talks will include the African Union, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Nations as observers, the statement said.
For more than a year, war has raged in the northeast African country between the regular military under army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the RSF led by his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.
