The US Secretary of State assured that no one from the diplomatic convoy was injured due to this incident.
A US diplomatic convoy was fired upon in Sudan on Monday, April 17. No one was injured in this incident. This is what US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in Japan after the meeting of foreign ministers of the G7 countries, the BBC reported on Tuesday, April 18.
“This action is reckless and irresponsible and, of course, dangerous,” the US official said.
In turn, US State Department spokesman John Kirby said there are no plans to evacuate the American diplomatic mission from Sudan, despite security problems and the closure of Khartoum airport. However, he urged all US citizens to take the situation “very seriously.”
It will be recalled that on April 15, after several days of tension between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Reaction Forces, explosions and shooting were heard in Khartoum. The conflict is over the country’s proposed transition to civilian rule. The sides use tanks, artillery, aircraft and other heavy weapons.
Up to 100 people were initially reported dead as a result of the fighting in Sudan. However, within three days the number of victims rose to at least 185 people. In addition, 1800 were injured.
