“I urge all those with influence over the situation to use it in the cause of peace; to support efforts to end the violence, restore order, and return to the path of transition,” he said. The humanitarian situation in Sudan was already precarious and is now catastrophic.”
Meanwhile, Political analyst and specialist on Sudan and Horn of Africa Sabir Ibrahim says the over 10 million people in Sudan’s capital Khartoum are enduring constant bombardment and are suffering.
