Antonio Guterres says ‘we fail’ to stop war in Sudan

WORLD, May 04 (YPA) – UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that “UN failed” to stop war from erupting in Sudan, where persistent fighting between rival generals undermined efforts to firm up a truce.

“The UN was taken by surprise” by the conflict, because the world body and others were hopeful that negotiations would be successful, Antonio Guterres told reporters in Nairobi, “to the extent that we and many others were not expecting this to happen, we can say we failed to avoid it to happen,” the secretary general said.

“A country like Sudan, that has suffered so much… cannot afford a struggle for power between two people.”
