The US State Department has established a special taskforce to deal with the crisis in Sudan, a spokesperson told CNN
“The State Department has established a Sudan Military Conflict Task Force to oversee the Department’s planning, management, and logistics related to events in Sudan,” the spokesperson said. A notice about the taskforce went out to staff on Monday, sources said. In recent days, intense fighting between the rival Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces broke out in Khartoum and spread further into the country, leaving hundreds dead and injured.
I would imagine that they would want to have a presence for as long as is justifiable in an effort to try to help and to try to resolve the fighting,” he said. ‘Existential’ conflict “The biggest challenge” for the US and its partners is that the conflict in Sudan “appears to be existential for the two parties,” so “it’s going to be very difficult to convince them that they need to stop,” Hogendoorn told CNN.
