A deal between the warring factions in Sudan to protect civilian lives will not “stop the fighting”, Sudanese political analyst Kholood Khair has told the BBC’s Focus on Africa radio programme.
“This is just an example that the two sides can sit together” which is “significant” but does not change the fact that both sides are still fighting, she said.
She added that in her view neither side has shown “any respect” for human life or humanitarian access.
Earlier we reported that both sides had agreed to allow safe passage for people leaving battle zones, protect relief workers and not to use civilians as human shields, after US- and Saudi-led talks in Saudi Arabia.
So far the fighting in Sudan, which broke out last month, has killed hundreds and led to thousands more to flee their homes.
