Sudan's warring parties arrive in Geneva for UN-hosted talks

Representatives from Sudan’s army and the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces arrived in Geneva for UN-sponsored talks aimed at protecting civilians through potential local ceasefires. However, one delegation failed to attend the first day's session, UN officials said Thursday.

The senior representatives accepted separate invitations from Ramtane Lamamra, the UN Secretary-General’s personal envoy, to engage in "proximity talks."
