A doctor's group in Sudan reported early Monday that the death toll for civilians caught up in the fighting between Sudan's military and a paramilitary force has grown to at least 97, with 365 injured, according to a Reuters report. Other reports say as many as 600 people have been injured.
The fighting erupted Saturday between army units loyal to General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, head of Sudan's transitional governing Sovereign Council, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces , led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, deputy head of the council, Reuters reported.
Baldo said he does not think any attempt at mediation would work because it appears both generals have branded each other as criminals and could be prepared to fight it out. Guterres"strongly condemns the deaths and injuries of civilians, including the death of three staff members of the World Food Program in North Darfur, with a further two seriously injured," the U.N. chief's spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, said in a statement, adding:"Those responsible should be brought to justice without delay."
The World Food Program says it has suspended operations in the country after the deaths of its staff members.
