Spain temporarily suspended work of embassy in Sudan

Spain temporarily suspended the work of the embassy in the capital of Sudan Hartum because of the armed clashes between the army and the rapid response forces that began on April 15.

This is stated in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Spain.

The Foreign Ministry noted that the decision was made for security reasons.

“The Embassy of Spain in Hartum will be closed before the further notice. We urge citizens not to go outside and stay in places of residence,” the statement said.

Armed clashes between the army and a paramilitary formation under the name of the rapid response force continued in Sudan since April 15.

Collisions are held not only in Hartum, but also to a number of other cities.

According to WHO, at least 83 people were killed in the clashes, 1126 suffered.
