Fighting between the army and paramilitaries in Sudan has killed around 200 people and wounded 1,800, damaging hospitals and hampering aid after three days of urban warfare.
A weeks-long power struggle exploded into deadly violence Saturday between the forces of two generals who seized power in a 2021 coup: Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces .
Following the call, Daglo said in a tweet that the pair had "discussed pressing issues in Sudan," adding he was grateful for Blinken and the US's "commitment to restoring stability in Sudan." Earlier Monday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres again urged Sudan's warring parties to "immediately cease hostilities". He warned that further escalation "could be devastating for the country and the region".
In the western region of Darfur, international medical aid organization Doctors Without Borders reported receiving 136 wounded patients at the only hospital in El Fasher still operating in North Darfur state.
