DUBAI/CAIRO (Reuters) - Talks to end Sudan's 16-month war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) will move forward this week, the U.S.'s special envoy said, despite little sign from either party that they seek a peaceful resolution.

The Sudanese army has all but rejected the invitation, while the RSF has continued its costly offensives in parts of the country, despite welcoming the U.S. and Saudi initiative.
