Sudan warring parties agree to two safe aid routes

The warring parties in Sudan have both agreed to provide safe humanitarian access into the conflict-ravaged nation along two key routes, countries staging talks in Switzerland said a group statement on Friday.

The statement also said the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), led by Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, had accepted a "streamlined notification system" to facilitate humanitarian aid delivery, with the group encouraging the Sudanese armed forces to do likewise.
