RSF attacks US embassy vehicle hours after EU ambassador was ‘assaulted’
 
An American embassy vehicle on Monday came under fire from elements of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum, according to the Al Arabiya television channel which cited American diplomatic sources.

An American embassy vehicle on Monday came under fire from elements of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum, according to the Al Arabiya television channel which cited American diplomatic sources.
 

This comes after fighting started by the RSF – a paramilitary force that has been accused of human rights abuses in the past – in the capital Khartoum entered its third day. The Al Arabiya channel report further said that none of the diplomats on board was wounded.

The European Union ambassador to Sudan has been attacked in his home in Khartoum, the bloc’s top diplomat Josep Borrell said, as fighting between rival generals gripped the nation.

“A few hours ago, the EU Ambassador in Sudan was assaulted in his own residency,” Mr Borrell wrote on Twitter, without detailing any injuries to the envoy.

“Security of diplomatic premises and staff is a primary responsibility of Sudanese authorities and an obligation under international law,” he added.

The European Union’s ambassador to Sudan is 58-year-old Irish diplomat Aidan O’Hara. EU spokeswoman Nabila Massrali said that he was “OK” following the assault.

“The security of the staff is our priority,” Ms Massrali said. “The EU delegation has not been evacuated. Security measures are being assessed.”

Tánaiste and foreign minister Micheál Martin said Mr O’Hara was “not seriously hurt” but that the assault was “a gross violation of obligations to protect diplomats under the Vienna Convention”.

“Aidan is an outstanding Irish and European diplomat who is serving the EU under the most difficult circumstances,” Mr Martin said.

“We thank him for his service and call for an urgent cessation of violence in Sudan, and resumption of dialogue.”

The Department of Foreign Affairs has been in contact with Ambassador O’Hara.

Fighting between the Sudanese army and a rival paramilitary faction has killed around 200 people and wounded 1,800 after three days of urban warfare.

The United Nations has called for an immediate ceasefire and international bodies, including the European Union, have expressed grave concern.

 A suspected air strike at the weekend in Ethiopia's Amhara region killed at least 26 people, a hospital official said on Monday, as a state-appointed rights group detailed widespread killings of civilians since fighting broke out this month. Federal forces managed late last week to push Fano militiamen out of most major towns in Amhara, but clashes continue in other parts of the region, the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said in a statement.   The fighting, which has been fuelled by Fano accusations that the federal government is trying to weaken Amhara's defences, is Ethiopia's biggest security crisis since a two-year civil war in the northern Tigray region ended last November. Ethiopia's government denies the allegations by Fano, an informal militia that backed federal forces during the Tigray war. Spokespeople for the government, the military and Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed did not respond to requests for comment on Monday about the suspected
