Sudan army chief claims he's ready for peace talks – BBC News

The head of Sudan's army has said he is willing to talk to the commander of rebel forces whom he is battling for control of the country.

Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said he was ready in principle to sit down with Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, leader of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The two men have been fighting a brutal internal war since April, which the UN said has left more 5,000 people dead.

It said that more than five million people have been displaced.
