An Irishman who is the EU ambassador to Sudan in Africa has been attacked at his home by a group of men, as civil unrest continues in the country leaving hundreds dead.
Tánaiste Micheál Martin has condemned the attack on 58-year-old Aidan O'Hara, who was assaulted by the men at his residence in Khartoum on Monday.
The Tánaiste described the attack as a "a gross violation of the Vienna Convention" and called for an "urgent cessation of violence" in Sudan and dialogue to be established.
