Strikes hit Sudan cities as army chief defies US visa ban
Original: Strikes hit Sudan cities as army chief defiant after US visa snub
Airstrikes have struck several Sudanese cities as the country's army chief remains defiant following Washington's decision to deny him a visa, restricting his ability to attend the UN General Assembly. The US move is part of ongoing pressure over the conduct of the civil war with the Rapid Support Forces. Commenters in the region are watching whether the sanctions push the military toward negotiations.
Why now: Fresh US sanctions targeting Sudan's army leadership coincide with renewed strikes on cities, raising fears of escalation in the two-year civil war.
