The Ministry of Foreign Affairs together with the Embassy of Uganda in Khartoum have issued an advisory statement noting that they continue to monitor the situation in Sudan since the armed clashes broke out on 15/4/2023.
Missiles, air strikes and gunfire have been ceaseless in Khartoum since Saturday as army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan wages war with his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who leads the powerful Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group.
Now, the embassy says Ugandans in Sudan who may need help should contact the following persons;
Over thousands have since fled into neighboring countries to save their lives.
Elements of the Sudanese army, including 320 gendarmes, police and military personnel, have entered Chadian territory, where “all have been disarmed and confined,” General Daoud Yaya Brahim said while speaking at a press conference.
“This war does not concern us,” he was quoted as saying by local online media outlet N’Djaména Actu.
He also expressed Chad’s inability to contain an eventual spread of the conflict, which would lead to “account rigging, theft and communal conflicts.”
Chad decided to close its borders with Sudan on Saturday after clashes broke out between rival military factions in the neighboring country.
Fighting broke out early Saturday between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group in the capital Khartoum, with gunfire and bombs heard near the army headquarters and presidential palace.
The RSF accused the army of attacking its forces south of Khartoum with light and heavy weapons, while the military said the paramilitary force was “spreading lies” and declared it a “rebel” group.
