French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has called for a ceasefire between the warring parties in Sudan, with Paris denouncing the ethnic nature of the abuses attributed to the RSF paramilitaries, particularly in the flashpoint city of El-Fasher.
"For the past few days, the situation has been worsening in Sudan with the fall of the city of El-Fasher in Darfur and with the fear, fuelled by a number of facts that seem to be established, of major abuses affecting tens of thousands of innocent people," French foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot told the press on Monday.
