The American-led negotiations aimed at ending Sudan's war concluded in Switzerland after 10 days, resulting in agreements to provide food and medicine to famine-stricken areas in Sudan. However, the talks failed to achieve a cease-fire or bring both sides to the table due to the Sudanese military's refusal to participate. The disarray within Sudan's military was exposed, hindering efforts to end the conflict. The talks, held in Villars-sur-Ollon, involved diplomats from the United States, Arab nations, and international organizations. Efforts to coax Sudanese delegates to attend were unsuccessful, leading to the cancellation of a meeting in Cairo. The Sudanese military's internal divisions and reluctance to pursue peace were cited as major obstacles. With cease-fire discussions off the table, the focus shifted to addressing humanitarian concerns. Despite political differences, diplomats collaborated to negotiate concessions for humanitarian access. Concrete achievements included guarantees for humanitarian access to key areas, such as the border crossing with Chad and the Zamzam camp for displaced people in Darfur. However, challenges emerged as the Sudanese government's coordination of humanitarian aid halted relief trucks, reflecting wider divisions within the military government. The talks also highlighted the ongoing violence in Sudan, with reports of bombings and shelling. The negotiations included meetings with Sudanese women, who expressed frustration with the countries involved in fueling the conflict. Despite the challenges, the talks in Switzerland provided some progress in addressing the humanitarian crisis in Sudan. Overall, the talks in Switzerland highlighted the complexities and challenges in resolving the conflict in Sudan and addressing the urgent humanitarian needs of the population.
