UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an end to the war in Sudan, saying the country cannot afford such devastation at such a critical juncture.
He told reporters that A country like Sudan, which has suffered so much in such a desperate economic and humanitarian situation, cannot afford a power struggle between two people.
On Wednesday, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that it was "absolutely essential" that Sudan's crisis not spread beyond its boundaries and endanger democratic transitions and peace processes in neighbouring countries.
Since April 15, Sudan has been rocked by fighting between the country's military leader, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who commands the sudan army, and his deputy-turned-rival, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who leads the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

Both men have agreed to numerous truces, but none have halted the fighting, driving tens of thousands across Sudan's borders and raising fears of a humanitarian crisis.
On Tuesday, South Sudan's foreign ministry claimed that the fighting sides had agreed to a seven-day ceasefire from May 4 to 11, although neither side has formally verified this.
He added that The present situation is unacceptable and A lasting ceasefire must occur.
He was concerned about the violence spreading to neighbouring nations dealing with political and post-conflict issues, mainly Chad, Ethiopia, and South Sudan.
"In the current situation, massive support for Chad is necessary." On the other hand, several countries in the region are engaged in their peace efforts. Ethiopia is in the midst of a peace process. He stated that it is critical to avoid any spillover from Sudan to Ethiopia
guterres added that South Sudan is implementing the agreements reached slowly and with difficulty. Any disruption involving South Sudan would be very dangerous.
More than 100,000 people have fled as refugees into neighbouring countries since the violence began, and the UNHCR is planning for up to 800,000 more, he said, emphasizing the conflict's regional implications.
He claimed that the UN was caught off guard when Sudan erupted in violence since it was thought that talks between the two generals would bear fruit.
