The U.S. Secretary of State held separate calls with the army chief and head of the paramilitary Rapid Response Forces, telling them to stop fighting and to protect civilians
The United States spoke to rival Sudanese commanders who have been waging fierce battles in Khartoum and beyond for a fourth day, telling them to stop fighting and to protect civilians and others after a U.S diplomatic convoy came under fire.
Fighting between Sudan’s army and the RSF that erupted on Saturday has killed at least 185 people and injured more than 1,800, UN envoy Volker Perthes said on Monday. The battling factions both claim to have made gains amid air strikes and fighting across the capital, Khartoum, and its neighbouring cities of Omdurman and Bahri.
An already precarious humanitarian situation in Sudan has deteriorated, and UN officials say many aid programmes have been suspended. The violence could destabilize a volatile region and play into competition for influence there between Russia and the United States, and among regional powers that have courted different actors in Sudan.
