Sudan's Crisis: International Intervention Needed to Stop Violence and Instability.

Intense fighting between the Sudanese army and a paramilitary force has continued for a fifth day despite calls by international stakeholders to stop the violence and engage in dialogue. The conflict has led to at least 270 deaths and observers are growing increasingly concerned about the possible ramifications of this conflict dragging on. Regional and international actors are all trying to stop the fighting, with the United States coordinating with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates on Sudan. Meanwhile, leaders of several African nations have said they plan on visiting Sudan, but it remains unclear whether or when that will be possible as fighting continues.
