Nearly Two Dozen Countries Meet in Geneva on Sudan; Government and RSF Absent

Delegates met in Geneva on Oct 21 with UN Personal Envoy Pekka Haavisto and Swiss State Secretary Alexandre Fasel to discuss a ceasefire, political transition and humanitarian response. Neither the Sudanese government nor the RSF attended. Fasel said the war has become a drone war that kills mostly civilians; OCHA estimates almost 34 million people need aid.
