THE African Union (AU) has called for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan and a constructive dialogue between the country’s warring factions.

Thursday’s call was joined by the European Union and the United Nations amid concerns that the fighting could destabilise an already volatile region. 

The AU, EU and US also called for an end to tension between Somalia and Ethiopia over an agreement signed between Ethiopia and Somalia’s breakaway Somaliland region.
