Arabic version: حرب السودان تثير مخاوف من أزمة إقليمية

According to France 24, Sudan’s continuing war is taking a devastating toll across the region, with the United Nations warning of an escalating crisis with wider regional consequences.

A drone strike in Abyei reportedly killed 153 people, France 24 said in its Eye on Africa programme. The reported attack was highlighted as the conflict in Sudan continues to worsen.

The programme spoke with the UN envoy for Sudan following an emergency international meeting focused on the escalating crisis. France 24 did not provide further details in the programme summary about the meeting or the envoy’s remarks.

Elsewhere in the region, health authorities are preparing to coordinate a response after Ebola cases emerged in Nigeria and rose in Kenya. The edition also revisited Cameroon’s deadliest railway disaster a decade later, reporting that families of the 79 victims are still seeking justice and say their pain has not been acknowledged.
