External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday discussed the “concerning situation in Sudan” with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry.
“Discussed the concerning situation in Sudan just now with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry. Deeply value his assessments and insights, as also his very helpful attitude. Agreed to remain in close touch,” tweeted Jaishankar.
Meanwhile, the fighting continued for a sixth day in Khartoum as the second attempt at a ceasefire broke down.
The 24-hour ceasefire was supposed to begin at 6 pm local time (16:00 GMT) on Wednesday. It is the second day running that a proposed ceasefire has failed to hold.
The rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the regular army both released statements accusing the other of breaking the ceasefire. According to the army’s top leadership, actions to secure the capital and other areas will continue, reported Al Jazeera.(ANI)
