Sudan’s military junta may have shut own door on ending conflict in the country after launching a feud with Intergovernmental Authority on Development (Igad), diplomats warned this week.

A statement issued by the Sudanese Foreign Ministry accused the regional bloc of "violating the sovereignty" of Sudan, after it invited Rapid Support Forces (RSF) Commander Hamdan Dagalo to attend its summit in Uganda.
