Sudan civil conflict_ Warring sides hold ceasefire talks in Jeddah

Ongoing conflict in northern Omdurman, Sudan has killed and injured civilians. Ceasefire talks resumed but past truces failed. Asma Hamid's home in Khartoum was hit by an artillery shell fired by the paramilitary rapid support forces into northern Omdurman, where the Sudanese army is located. This previously safe area has been hit by hundreds of artillery strikes in the past month, killing or injuring dozens of civilians. The shelling has prompted people to leave to safer areas outside the capital, but the fighting and insecurity has been spreading. While ceasefire talks have resumed, previous truces have collapsed. The Sudanese army and the paramilitary group say they want to end the suffering of those caught in the crossfire, but many are skeptical and waiting to see if this round of negotiations will be any different.
