In light of the escalation, a diplomatic official confirmed that there will be no meeting between the Sudanese army commander, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, and the commander of the Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, anywhere.

This comes at a time when the US State Department announced that the two parties to the conflict in Sudan have no political will.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and America continue to engage the parties to the conflict in Sudan to fulfill the commitments they claim they want to make regarding the ceasefire, as well as allowing humanitarian aid to reach all regions.
