Warring parties in Sudan are nearing direct talks to end one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, according to Massad Boulos, President Donald Trump’s senior advisor for Africa.

The US is holding discussions with the Sudanese military and their Rapid Support Forces opponents to agree on general principles for the negotiations, Boulos told reporters in New York at the annual United Nations General Assembly meetings.
