US: Fighting must end 'immediately'

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has urged Sudan's army and paramilitary groups to end fighting "immediately."

The top US diplomat said he was "deeply concerned" about reports of fighting and said all US embassy staff in the capital Khartoum were "accounted for."

"We urge all actors to stop the violence immediately and avoid further escalations or troop mobilisations and continue talks to resolve outstanding issues," he tweeted.
