UK, US envoys voice concerns on Sudan violence

 UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has once again met US counterpart Antony Blinken to discuss the situation in Sudan, with both raising concerns about the assault on the European Union ambassador to Sudan and the attack on a US Embassy convoy in Sudan’s capital Khartoum.



“Indiscriminate military operations have resulted in significant civilian deaths and injuries, and are recklessly endangering the Sudanese people and diplomats,” Mr Blinken said in a statement.

He reiterated his earlier call for a 24-hour ceasefire to “allow Sudanese to safely reunite with their families and to obtain desperately needed relief supplies”.

The two envoys met and made similar ceasefire calls on Monday.

Mr Blinken is due to have another telephone meeting with Sudan’s de facto leader Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Rapid Support Forces commander Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo later on Tuesday, about the possibility of a ceasefire to allow residents access to medical care and food supplies.
