The conflict in Sudan could worsen, according to the former prime minister, than that in Libya and Syria.
The violence, according to Abdalla Hamdok, will be a “nightmare for the world” if it goes on.
According to the Sudanese army, it is employing heavy artillery to strike the nation’s capital, Khartoum, from all sides.
Hundreds of people have died in conflict that has lasted over two weeks, and tens of thousands more are escaping the nation.
Following intensive diplomatic efforts by neighboring nations, the US, UK, and UN, an uneasy ceasefire between the opposing factions was extended Thursday night.
Speaking at a conference in Nairobi, Kenya, Mr. Hamdok called for a concerted international effort to convince the head of a competing paramilitary force and the military leader of Sudan to hold peace talks.
