Qatar's Foreign Ministry has condemned the attack on the country's embassy in Khartoum, Sudan.
"The State of Qatar condemns in the strongest terms the storming and vandalism of its Embassy building in Khartoum by irregular armed forces," the ministry stated.
The Foreign Ministry clarified that at the time of the attack on the embassy, none of the diplomats were injured, as the entire diplomatic staff of the diplomatic mission had been evacuated.
"At the same time, it confirms that the Embassy staff have been previously evacuated, and none of the diplomats or Embassy staff were subjected to any harm," it outlined.
The ministry also called for prosecuting the perpetrators, holding them "accountable for the consequences."
Fighting has been ongoing in Sudan since April 15 between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) under Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo and the Sudanese Armed Forces. The opposing sides have exchanged contradictory statements about successes in combat operations and control over different objects, having launched a large-scale information war.
According to World Health Organization (WHO), 702 people have been killed and 5,687 injured during the clashes.
The situation in the African country is not improving, despite the parties' negotiations in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Earlier, a representative of the Saudi Foreign Ministry stated that the negotiations are being held through intermediaries with the aim of achieving a stable short-term truce, reports say.
However, local media sources stated on May 12 that the regular army and the RSF had signed an agreement for the first time, in which they pledged to do everything possible to avoid harm to civilians. The agreement was the first between the sides since the beginning of the conflict.
According to the points of the agreement, the parties undertake to refrain from any attacks that may harm the civilian population, as well as to take all precautions not to harm the civilian population, to allow all civilians in Sudan to leave the areas of hostilities and besieged areas, as well as to protect medical workers and public institutions in the country.
