U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner issued the following statement in regard to the ongoing violence in Sudan:
“It has been tragic to see the violence that has gripped Sudan – violence that has so far left hundreds dead, thousands injured, tens of thousands forcibly displaced from their homes, and so many more terrorized by indiscriminate conflict. My team has heard from many who have shared concerns for family and loved ones back in Sudan, some desperately looking for the opportunity to leave safely.
“We continue to stay in close and regular communication with the Biden administration regarding the situation in Sudan. I fully support steps the administration has taken to deliver humanitarian assistance, as the recent events exacerbate already dire conditions on the ground, and I strongly back continued diplomatic efforts by the U.S., the African Union, and other international partners pressing for a durable cessation of the violence.”
