Sudan: fighting

20 April 2023

Fierce fighting has been going on in Sudan for several days now as two generals fight for power over the country. In Khartoum, civilians are caught in the crossfire and hospitals and homes have been reduced to rubble. According to the World Health Organisation, the death toll is now at 300, with more than 3,000 others wounded. Until now, attempts at ceasefires have collapsed. Please pray for safety for the many who are in danger, for God to change the hearts of those who are fighting and most of all for peace to come to this nation.
