The US and British foreign ministers on Monday urged an "immediate cessation of violence" in Sudan that has killed nearly 100 people, calling on opposing parties to return to talks.

There is agreement on the need for "an immediate ceasefire and a return to talks, talks that were very promising in putting Sudan on the path to a full transition to civilian led government", US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said alongside his British counterpart James Cleverly on the sidelines of G7 talks.
