Libya condemns storming of embassy in Sudan's capital

The Libyan Foreign Ministry on Tuesday condemned the storming and looting of the Libyan embassy in Sudan's capital Khartoum.

The ministry said in a statement that the storming and looting of the Libyan embassy building in Khartoum constitutes a violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and all laws and customs regulating diplomatic work between countries.

Expressing "deep regret and resentment of such actions," it called on the warring parties in Sudan to renounce violence and fighting, protect diplomatic missions and "resolve problems and differences through dialogue and peaceful means."

The Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have been engaged in armed clashes in Khartoum and other areas since April 15. Both sides accuse each other of initiating the conflict. The two sides on Monday agreed to a five-day extension of a cease-fire agreement they signed on May 20 after negotiations in the Saudi port city of Jeddah.
