CAIRO (AP) — Leaders from Sudan’s six neighboring countries met in Cairo for the most high-profile peace talks since conflict erupted across the northeastern African country in mid-April. Thursday’s meeting, hosted by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, was attended by the leaders of Ethiopia, South Sudan, Chad, Eritrea, the Central African Republic and Libya.

Health Minister Haitham Mohammed Ibrahim said last month that the conflict has killed more than 3,000 people and wounded more than 6,000 others.
