India on Thursday said the situation in Sudan is 'very tense' and is focusing on ensuring the safety and well-being of the Indian community, including working on contingency plans and possible evacuation.

 

The conflict is a direct result of a vicious power struggle within the country's military leadership.

The clashes are between Sudan's regular army and a paramilitary force called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
