EU ambassador to Sudan assaulted, says bloc's foreign policy chief

The European Union's ambassador to Sudan was assaulted in his own residency on Monday, according to the bloc's foreign policy chief, Josep Borell.

"This constitutes a gross violation of the Vienna Convention. Security of diplomatic premises and staff is a primary responsibility of Sudanese authorities and an obligation under international law," Borrell said in a tweet without giving further detail.
