Sudan's de facto ruler, army chief  Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, said Saturday his government would not join peace talks with rival paramilitaries in Switzerland, vowing instead to «fight for 100 years». «We will not go to Geneva... we will fight for 100 years,» Burhan, whose troops have been battling the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for over 16 months, told reporters in Port Sudan. The United States opened talks in Switzerland on August 14 aimed at easing the human suffering and achieving a lasting ceasefire. While an RSF delegation showed up, the Sudanese armed forces were unhappy with the format and did not attend, though they were in telephone contact with the mediators. The talks were co-hosted by Saudi Arabia and Switzerland, with the African Union, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and the United Nations completing the so-called Aligned for Advancing Lifesaving and Peace in Sudan Group (ALPS). They wrapped up on Friday without a ceasefire but with progress on securing aid access on two key routes into the country, which is gripped by one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. The brutal conflict has forced one in five people to flee their homes, while tens of thousands have died. More than 25 million across Sudan -- more than half its population -- face acute hunger. © Agence France-Presse

SINGAPORE - Singapore residents holidaying in the African continent during the peak safari season from July to September need not worry about having to be quarantined upon their return home. Despite the new and potentially more deadly clade Ib strain of the mpox virus rapidly spreading in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and neighbouring countries Burundi, Central African Republic, Rwanda and Uganda, infectious disease specialists say residents and visitors coming from these places do not need to be quarantined if they are not suffering from any symptoms of the disease. Mpox symptoms include fever, skin rash and swollen lymph nodes. All travellers are required to report mpox-related symptoms and travel history on the SG Arrival Card, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said. Mpox, which has been declared a global public health emergency by the World Health Organisation (WHO), “doesn’t seem to spread through casual community contact as Covid-19 did”, said Professor Dale Fisher of the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.
