MOSCOW (Sputnik) - India will temporarily relocate its embassy in conflict-torn Sudan from Khartoum to Port Sudan due to the deteriorating security situation in the country, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said on Tuesday.
"In view of the prevailing security situation in Sudan, including attacks in Khartoum city, it has been decided that the Indian Embassy in Khartoum will be temporarily relocated to Port Sudan. The situation will be assessed in the light of further developments," the ministry said in a press release.
The epicenter of the fighting between the parties to the conflict in Sudan is in central Khartoum, in an area where many foreign diplomatic premises are located. Last week, Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Al-Sadiq told Sputnik that the army was taking back control of this area, with the government "doing everything it can to protect the buildings of the diplomatic missions."
