“Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, together with his delegation, arrived in Khartoum, Sudan, this morning for talks,” Abiy’s office said on Twitter. Five main hospitals had been shut down by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, it said. “There is a great shortage in medical staff, mainly caused by the military militias targeting doctors and preventing them from reaching hospitals and clinics to perform their duty,” it said. “For all these reasons, more and more lives are being lost every day.”The United Nations’ health agency also said medical staff had apparently been targeted for treating the wounded. The military council has said people had put on uniforms of the Rapid Support Forces to impersonate them in an attempt to harm their reputation.
