CAIRO (AP) — The United States has urged Sudan’s warring sides to return to cease-fire talks and make a concerted effort to abide by a lasting truce. The appeal comes a day after Sudan’s military suspended its participation in the talks, hosted in Saudi Arabia, with a rival paramilitary force. The fighting between the Sudanese military and the Rapid Support Forces broke out in mid-April and has killed at least 866 civilians. That is according to a Sudanese doctors group. The group says that heavy shelling near a market in a neighborhood in the south of the Sudanese capital of Khartoum killed at least 17 civilians on Wednesday.
