Fighting in Sudan has entered a 3rd week, with reports saying air strikes and shelling have kicked off again in the capital city Khartoum, even as a second 72-hour truce between the 2 Sudanese military groups is meant to begin at 8am Monday AEST. The rocky situation prompted the country’s former PM Abdalla Hamdok to speak out… He says if the fighting continues to amp up, the conflict could become worse than the civil wars in Libya and Syria. To recap what’s going on: the fight for power is between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. “This is not a war between an army and small rebellion. It is almost like 2 armies – well trained and well armed,” Hamdok says. Yesterday, our Deputy PM Richard Marles said more than 155 Australians have left Sudan since the conflict started, and the government’s working on evacuating other Aussies ASAP.
