Sudan’s RSF chief in Djibouti amid ceasefire efforts

NAIROBI: The leader of Sudan´s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Sunday visited Djibouti, which is leading regional efforts to broker a ceasefire after more than eight months of war.

The Horn of Africa nation is the latest stop on Mohamed Hamdan Daglo´s first trip abroad since fighting erupted between the RSF and the Sudanese army in mid-April.

His regional tour -- which has also taken him to Ethiopia and Uganda -- comes as diplomats scramble to broker a meeting between Daglo and his rival, Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.

The warring generals have not met face-to-face since the outbreak of the conflict that has killed more than 12,000 people by some conservative estimates, and forced millions to flee.
