A delegation headed by several Horn of Africa leaders has reached a roadblock in its mediation effort to stop the fighting in Sudan. The Sudanese Foreign Ministry rejected the proposal made by eight African nations, saying the language surrounding the talks is incorrect. The government in Khartoum says describing the conflict as a ‘fight between two generals’ is a false narrative. It sees the conflict as a battle between a national army and a group rebelling against it. Al Jazeera’s Bernard Smith is in the studio covering the mediation efforts.

Refugees and aid groups say the fighting in Darfur is less about the battle between the Sudanese armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces than it is an existential war between communities in the region. Masalit leaders report that militias are targeting their tribe, in particular, and some refugees are describing the persecution in el-Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, as a genocide. Aid groups worry that the violence could spread across the region and the Masalit warn that other tribes could be targeted next. Al Jazeera’s Zein Basravi reports from Adre, eastern Chad.

Fighting has resumed with renewed intensity following a brief period of respite on Saturday, the quietest since Sudan broke out into conflict nearly eight weeks ago when a rivalry between the army and its rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) exploded into open warfare. Within 30 minutes of the ceasefire ending on Sunday morning, air raids, artillery shelling and machine guns could be heard pounding several parts of the country, according to Al Jazeera’s Hiba Morgan, reporting from Sudan. – Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera – Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ @AljazeeraEnglish #Aljazeeraenglish #news #sudan #sudanfighting #ceasefire
Treaties are hard fought and often take years to negotiate. They are designed to keep peace, preventing rival countries from going to war. One agreement, signed in 1990 towards the end of the Cold War, is the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe. The United States, other NATO members, the former Soviet Union and its central and eastern European allies agreed to prevent military build-up at their borders. But in recent years, NATO’s expansion towards east and Russia’s security interests have left that accord all but meaningless.
