“[The UN envoy to Sudan] believes pressure from others is important. The African Union, regional grouping IGAD, Arab League, all of these bodies are talking with various players and in particular with the two generals, trying to get a ceasefire in place. There's talk of mediation missions … making their way as delegations to try to speak to the generals to try to get that ceasefire. The problem with that - airspace is closed, borders are closed and it's simply too dangerous for them to travel at this stage. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing, but they're not bearing much fruit this time and clearly that's deeply concerning for the people of Sudan.”
