Tunisian envoy in Sudan looted by Armed militias

Armed militants in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, looted the residence of the Tunisian ambassador to Sudan.

The Tunisian foreign ministry said in a statement on Sunday termed the development “a grave violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, and a flagrant violation of the sanctity of the headquarters of diplomatic missions”.

The ministry called for the perpetrators “to be tracked down and held accountable” while calling for restraint and an immediate end to the fighting in Sudan which began in April.

A number of embassies in Khartoum have been ransacked since the start of fighting in April, including those of Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, Jordan and Oman.

“Tunisia further expresses full support to all regional and international efforts aimed at reinforcing the ceasefire and returning to dialogue to get out of the crisis,” the ministry added.
