Riyadh proposes hosting Sudanese talks

Sudanese Foreign Minister Mustafa Othman Ismael announced on Wednesday that Saudi Arabia has proposed hosting the talks among the Sudanese sides. He stated this does not constitute a reconciliation attempt against the two other mediation attempts carried out by the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and each of Libya and Egypt. The Sudanese minister added that his government did not receive any request from the Egyptian-Libyan mediation committee to visit Khartoum to become acquainted with the position taken by the Sudanese government.
