Blinken speaks to Sudan generals, calls for ceasefire FMTNews FMTWorld
Conflict between the army and paramilitaries in Sudan has killed about 200 people and wounded 1,800.
Blinken, in Japan for a meeting of G7 foreign ministers, held separate calls with the commanders of the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary, spokesman Vedant Patel said. The fighting is between the forces of two generals who seized power in a 2021 coup – army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the powerful Rapid Support Forces.
Blinken suggested that even a 24-hour ceasefire could serve as a good starting point for lowering tensions, and warned that the fighting was “recklessly endangering” civilians and officials.
