US Calls Off Sudan Peace Talks After Dispute Over Post-War Power

The United States has called off a meeting of foreign ministers intended to discuss the situation in Sudan, citing a dispute over the wording of a proposed joint statement. The meeting was scheduled to address the ongoing conflict in Sudan and efforts to establish a post-war power-sharing arrangement. According to sources familiar with the matter, the US and its allies were unable to reach an agreement on the language of the joint statement, leading to the postponement of the talks. The disagreement appears to center around the division of power and the role of various stakeholders in the post-conflict political landscape in Sudan. The decision to call off the meeting highlights the continued challenges in achieving a lasting peace in Sudan and the complex diplomatic negotiations involved in navigating the country's political transition. The US and its partners remain committed to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict, but the inability to reach a consensus on the joint statement has temporarily delayed these efforts.
