Sudan Crisis

Sudan is experiencing bloodshed as a result of clashes between the army and paramilitary forces. Even though there is a 72 hour ceasefire, there have been allegations of violence. Fighting has erupted between soldiers loyal to Sudanese army leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy, paramilitary Rapid Support soldiers (RSF) commander Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.

Committed to ensuring that no Indian National is left behind in Sudan, India has deployed its military places and warships in the war-torn country. (Maxim News)
