During an interview held on the sidelines of Sudanese ceasefire talks organised in Switzerland, the US special envoy for Sudan Tom Perriello lauds the "great success so far" in turning the world's attention to the conflict. He also deplores the Sudanese armed forces' absence from the talks. "We can do so much more, so much more quickly," he says, "if we see that SAF delegation here soon". War has raged since April 2023 between the Sudanese army (SAF) under the country's de facto ruler Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), led by his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.
