answer text <p>We are aware of the reports of alleged Russian mercenaries, including employees of the Wagner group, who were filmed around the protests in Khartoum. We are unable to verify these reports independently and have noted comments by the Government of Sudan and a statement by the Russian embassy in Khartoum denying these reports. We continue to monitor developments on the ground and to stress to the Government of Sudan our continuing concern about the violence used in response to peaceful protests.</p> more like this
