Diplomatic sources reported that the negotiating sessions in Geneva, which were held between representatives of the Sudanese government and the Rapid Support Forces, resulted in a preliminary agreement on opening humanitarian crossings.

The sources stated that the meetings dealt with specific items related to humanitarian aid, and how to facilitate its access to those affected in conflict areas.

Reports indicate that it was agreed to open several crossings to ensure the flow of humanitarian aid more effectively.

A leader of the Rapid Support delegation confirmed that the negotiations took place bilaterally with United Nations representatives and that no understandings were reached with the government delegation, adding that the Sudanese army did not participate in any understandings regarding the delivery of aid.

The Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ramtane Lamamra, also held extensive contacts with the leaders of the Sudanese parties in an attempt to relaunch the direct negotiation process.

International and regional organizations are trying to find a solution that will alleviate the worsening humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where nearly half of the population needs urgent aid.

It is noteworthy that the negotiations began on July 12, 2024, indirectly in Geneva, under the auspices of the United Nations, between representatives of the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, with the aim of reaching a ceasefire and facilitating the delivery of humanitarian aid to those affected by the ongoing conflict in the country.
