Bahrain Mirror: Senior leaders from Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) met three times in January (2024) in Bahrain, according to sources with knowledge of the talks reported Reuters. It's the first such contact between the two warring sides in nine months of conflict.
The four sources told Reuters that the unannounced meetings in Manama were attended by influential deputies from both forces and by officials from Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, as well as the United States and Saudi Arabia.
The army was represented by General Shamseldin Kabbashi and the RSF by General Abdelrahim Dagalo, a brother of RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the sources said.
According to one participant, the two sides had tentatively agreed on a declaration of principles including maintaining the unity of Sudan and its military.
More talks to discuss a ceasefire were planned, but a follow-up meeting last week was postponed, the source added.
