Sudan's RSF claims airport as Saudi and US-backed talks restart

DUBAI (Reuters) - Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said on Monday they had seized an airport west of the capital from the army and workers at an oilfield said they were evacuated due to the attack as the warring factions reconvened for talks in Saudi Arabia.

The RSF said Belila airport in the state of West Kordofan had been used by the army, which it has been fighting since mid-April, to launch warplanes. Employees at Belila oilfield, which produces much of Sudan's meagre and dwindling oil output, said they were evacuated on Sunday night because of the fighting.
