The conflict that erupted in Sudan in April has led to “looting and raping, and destruction of hospitals, sources of water, food, electricity, and other services,” the bishops of Sudan and South Sudan said in a statement.
“The situation in Khartoum [Sudan’s capital] and western Sudan is very precarious and disastrous,” the bishops added. “Many people have been killed in these areas, apart from the destruction of properties and looting, which is at an apocalyptic level.”
Sudan (map) is a northeastern African nation of 48 million that is 92% Muslim and 4% Christian, with 2% adhering to ethnic religions.
