Tehran, IRNA -- The Foreign Ministry has expressed deep concern over the ongoing violence in Sudan's North Darfur region, condemning the killing of civilians and destruction of infrastructure in the city of Al-Fashir.
In a statement late on Tuesday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei voiced alarm over the armed clashes, denouncing "the destruction of infrastructure and the massacre of innocent people" in the conflict-hit city.
He also warned against "dangerous movements aimed at re-dividing Sudan," stressing the need to respect the country's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The fighting in Sudan erupted on April 15, 2023, between the national army led by Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces commanded by Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti.
The conflict stems from a power struggle and disputes over integrating the RSF into the regular army following the 2021 coup.
Despite multiple rounds of international mediation, the war has persisted for more than a year, worsening the humanitarian crisis.
Since gaining independence in 1956, Sudan has witnessed chronic instability, including 20 coup attempts and two devastating civil wars that ultimately led to South Sudan's secession in 2011.
