Sudan's Sovereign Council leads delegation to South Sudan for peace talks

Sudan's Sovereign Council Chairman Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has arrived in South Sudan for peace talks with armed groups. The talks are aimed at ending years of conflict in Sudan's Darfur region and other areas. Al-Burhan is leading a delegation of Sudanese officials, including the head of the Sovereign Council's security and defense committee, Lt. Gen. Shams El Din Kabbashi, and the head of the Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF), Minni Minnawi.

Al-Burhan meets with South Sudan's President Salva Kiir

Al-Burhan met with South Sudan's President Salva Kiir on Monday to discuss the peace talks. During the meeting, al-Burhan said that the two countries were "determined to achieve peace and stability in Sudan." Kiir said that South Sudan was "committed to supporting the peace process in Sudan."

Peace talks set to begin on Tuesday

The peace talks are set to begin on Tuesday in Juba, the capital of South Sudan. The talks will be mediated by South Sudan's government and will include representatives from the Sudanese government, the SRF, and other armed groups. The SRF is a coalition of rebel groups that has been fighting the Sudanese government since 2003. The conflict in Darfur has killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced millions more. The peace talks are seen as a major step towards ending the conflict and bringing peace to Sudan.
