The diplomat said on Saturday that the two sides will remain in the Saudi city of Jeddah, overlooking the Red Sea, to begin the next stage of negotiations after agreeing on the civilian protection plan on Thursday.
The Saudi diplomat indicated that the two parties to the Sudanese conflict will resume talks on Sunday based on the implementation mechanism of the Jeddah declaration, noting that the negotiations, in addition to focusing on a plan for the delivery of the humanitarian aid, will also cover guarantees for the opening of safe corridors and the withdrawal of forces from civilian areas.
The Kingdom has also invited the head of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, to the Arab League summit to be held in Jeddah on May 19.
Jeddah Agreement
Sudanese sources said on Friday that the army and the Rapid Support Forces signed a preliminary agreement in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
According to the sources, the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces have announced their commitment to carry out humanitarian work and meet the needs of civilians.
The declaration included the army and the Rapid Support Forces affirming their commitment to ensure the protection of civilians and to ensure their safe passage from areas of hostilities.
Here are the most important elements of the advertisement signed in Jeddah:
The army and the Rapid Support Forces stress the need to allow safe passage for aid workers. Commitment to the sovereignty of Sudan and the preservation of its unity and territorial integrity. The interests and security of the Sudanese people are a top priority. Protect all private and public facilities in Sudan and refrain from using them for military purposes. Adopt simple procedures for all arrangements related to humanitarian relief operations in Sudan. Compliance with the declaration will not affect the legal, security or political position of the signatory parties.
The delegations of the army and the Rapid Support Forces met over the days, under the aegis of the United States and Saudi Arabia, in the city of Jeddah.
Negotiations between the two sides aimed to reach a genuine truce and allow relief and supplies to arrive, after repeated declarations of a ceasefire failed to stop the fighting, which has left millions of people trapped in their homes and areas.
