Geneva talks on Sudan end without ceasefire as Burhan letter stops short of backing US truce plan

International peace efforts converged in Geneva as the Quartet reaffirmed a negotiated settlement while Sudan's leader wrote to Trump without endorsing the 90-day truce.

• The US-Egypt-Saudi-UAE Quartet met in Geneva on Friday and agreed there is no military solution to Sudan's conflict, US adviser Masad Boulos said.
• The UN and Switzerland concluded the sixth consultative meeting on Sudan peace coordination on October 21 without announcing a ceasefire.
• Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan said he sent a letter to Trump committing Sudan to US-sponsored peace efforts without explicitly accepting the 90-day humanitarian truce.
• Washington urges acceptance of a 90-day humanitarian truce without preconditions, while Sudan insists the RSF withdraw from civilian areas beforehand.
