“Our experienced consular teams in Dublin and in the region will continue to actively respond to the needs of our citizens as the situation evolves,” Mr Martin said.
Meanwhile, a humanitarian truce was extended on Sunday and will last for three days starting from midnight, according to a statement released by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces spokesman. Hundreds of people have been killed and thousands wounded since a long-simmering power struggle between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces erupted into conflict on April 15th.
The Sudanese army said on Sunday it had destroyed RSF convoys moving towards Khartoum from the west. The RSF said the army had used artillery and warplanes to attack its positions in a number of areas in Khartoum province.In an apparent bid to boost its forces in the capital, the army said on Saturday that the Central Reserve Police had begun to deploy in southern Khartoum and would be deployed gradually in other areas of the capital.
The fighting in Khartoum has so far seen RSF forces fan out across the city as the army tries to target them largely by using air strikes from drones and fighter jets. Nonetheless, the UN special representative in Sudan, Volker Perthes, told Reuters on Saturday he had recently sensed a change in the sides’ attitudes and they were more open to negotiations, and were saying they would accept “some form of talks”.
