While fighting continues in Sudan, African diplomacy is active to intervene between the belligerents. If the situation continues to worsen, it could destabilize the region.
Calls for peace are multiplying, especially from Kenya. IGAD wants to send a delegation to Khartoum "as soon as possible" to mediate and resume negotiations between the two sides. However, the security conditions are not yet met for his arrival in the country. The African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat has also expressed his willingness to go "immediately" to the country to try and mediate.
