Britain and the United States called Monday for an “immediate cessation” of violence in Sudan, where fighting between the army and paramilitaries has killed nearly 100 people.
“There is a shared deep concern about the fighting… the threat that poses to civilians, that it poses to the Sudanese nation and potentially poses even to the region,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement alongside his British counterpart James Cleverly. He said the fighting had been discussed with allies in the Middle East and Africa and there is “a very strong shared view about the need for generals… to ensure the protection of civilians and non-combatants as well as people from third countries.”
There was an agreement “on the need for an immediate ceasefire and a return to talks”, he added on the sidelines of the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in the Japanese town of Karuizawa.
