  "account": "In a bid to halt the ongoing conflict in Sudan, an envoy representing US President Donald Trump met with the nation's army chief in Egypt over the weekend. This encounter was part of broader efforts by the US and its allies to bring peace to the African country, which has been engulfed in a brutal war. US Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos informed via Twitter on Monday that they reaffirmed their commitment to supporting a political resolution to the crisis alongside regional and international partners.\n\nThe rare meeting occurred just two weeks after the US denied a visa to the Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan before he was set to appear before the UN. Sources claim this move was in response to Khartoum's rejection of a US-backed ceasefire proposal. Tensions between Sudan's army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have escalated since April 2023, leading to a stalemate. The RSF, a paramilitary group, and the army have been clashing over the integration of their forces in a transition towards civilian governance.\n\nThe US State Department has explicitly stated that neither the Sudanese Armed Forces nor the RSF represent legitimate governance for the country. The protracted war has resulted in the displacement of over 14 million people and triggered horrific ethnically-driven killings across Sudan. The US has vehemently accused the RSF of genocide and the army of war crimes, allegations that both sides have vehemently denied.",
