According to UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), over 136,000 people fled Sennar since 24 June 2024 due to conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement on 23 July 2024 that the US has invited the two fighting sides in Sudan to participate in ceasefire talks co-hosted by Switzerland and Saudi Arabia on 14 August 'to reach a nationwide cessation of violence, enabling humanitarian access to all those in need'. The leader of Sudanese RSF Mohamed Hamdan Daglo on 24 July announced on his X (formerly Twitter) account the participation in the US-mediated ceasefire talks in Switzerland, expressing support for reaching 'a peaceful, negotiated political solution that restores the country to civilian rule and the path of democratic transition'. According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) figures, 10,594,576 individuals are internally displaced in Sudan, including 7,794,480 individuals displaced since the outbreak of armed conflict between the SAF and RSF on 15 April 2023.
