Sudan’s military chief visits Eritrea to discuss Sudan conflict with the president

Associated Press  

CAIRO — Sudan’s military chief traveled to Eritrea on Monday for a meeting with President Isaias Afwerki, the general’s latest international trip since fighting broke out between his army and a rival paramilitary force in mid-April, state media said. Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan has been looking for international support since tensions with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, commanded by Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, burst into open fighting that has reduced Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, and its neighboring cities of Omdurman and Bahri, to urban battlefields. Sudan’s state-run SUNA news agency said the talks between Burhan and Isaias would focus on bilateral relations and the conflict in Sudan. the U.S. ambassador-at-large for global criminal justice, condemned the violence that has rocked Darfur, including “killings on the basis of ethnicity committed by the Rapid Support Forces and their allied militias.” Schaak said the U.S. was bolstering the International Criminal Court’s effort to locate fugitives, but she gave few details on how it was helping the court, in which the United States is not a member state.
