More than 180 people have been killed and another 1,800 injured in three days of fighting between rival factions in Sudan, the United Nations special representative to the country has said.
The United Nations envoy on Sudan has said the two sides in the country’s fighting between the army and a paramilitary force are “not giving the impression that they want mediation for a peace between them” immediately.
The UN envoy also said it will continue efforts for further humanitarian pauses in the fighting. If that succeeds, the UN will aim for “more structured ceasefire”.
He added that leaders of warring parties have been reacting “positively” to his phone calls.
The envoy said he cannot assess who has the upper hand in the fighting as the situation is fluid.
