The meeting comes amid renewed international pressure on warring factions to negotiate a ceasefire after four years of violence that have left over 59,000 dead, displaced 13 million people, and driven parts of the country into famine. The U.S. and Egypt are among the key intermediaries pushing for a peaceful resolution, even as previous peace talks have failed to produce lasting results.
