The United States is pressing Sudanese military leaders to expand a ceasefire and is exploring options to return a diplomatic consular presence to the country as soon as possible, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday.
He told a news conference with Kenyan Foreign Secretary Alfred Mutua that deteriorating security conditions in Khartoum posed unacceptable risks to keep personnel there at this time, and that the department was communicating with Americans in the country.
