A conflict has been ongoing for six months. Initially, a short duration was expected, but that has not been the case. Efforts to end the conflict have stalled, despite earlier claims of progress.

A memorandum of understanding was reached in June, but its provisions have not been implemented. The approach has shifted to economic pressure.

No negotiations are currently taking place, according to a White House spokesperson, and this situation is expected to continue until certain conditions are met. Further information is available from the source.
