Sudan’s military chief traveled to Eritrea on Monday for a meeting with President Isaias Afwerki, the general's latest international trip since fighting broke out between his army and a rival paramilitary force in mid-April, state media said.
Gen. Abdel Fattah Burhan has been looking for international support since tensions with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, commanded by Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, burst into open fighting that has reduced Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, and its neighboring cities of Omdurman and Bahri, to urban battlefields.
