Will Ceasefire Talks End Sudan's Bloody Conflict?

The Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces have agreed to extend a ceasefire for 72 hours, but it remains to be seen if it will hold amid ongoing deadly hostilities. The UN has warned that the conflict could escalate into one of the world's worst civil wars if not stopped early. The violence has already killed at least 528 people, with the number possibly being higher. The crisis could lead all of East Africa into a humanitarian disaster with food prices in Sudan skyrocketing. Civilians continue to flee to neighboring countries, with over 20,000 people reportedly fleeing to Chad, 4,000 into South Sudan, 3,500 into Ethiopia, and 3,000 to the Central African Republic. The UK says it will no longer offer evacuation flights, while Indonesia and China continue to evacuate their citizens. The world community has called for negotiations to end the conflict. But will these efforts be enough to prevent Sudan from spiraling into a full-blown civil war?
