Secretary of State Antony Blinken called for an immediate end to hostilities between Sudan’s government and a powerful paramilitary group that have left at least 56 people dead.
Blinken said he spoke with top diplomats from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on Saturday, two countries with considerable interests in Sudan, and agreed that the fighting in the north African country should stop “without pre-condition.”
“We agreed it was essential for the parties to immediately end hostilities without pre-condition,” Blinken said in a statement Saturday.
Intense fighting between the military and a paramilitary force in Sudan’s capital city Khartoum has killed at least 56 people and wounded hundreds of others.
