“With recommendation from the transitional government and Sudan's army, we decided to temporarily move our embassy to Port Sudan for security reasons”, Cavusoglu told them, Aljazeera writes, broadcast Klankosova.tv.
No victims were reported, and the source of the shooting that hit Ismail Cobanoglu's vehicle was unclear, Turkish diplomatic sources said.
Sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to talk about the media.
The warring parties blamed each for the attack on the ambassador's vehicle.
Wars between the two rival generals -- army chief Abdel Fattah al-Buhan and the commander of the Fast Support Forces (RSF) Mohammed Hamdan “Hemedti” Dazalo ʹ erupted on April 15th. Hundreds of people have been killed and thousands more have been injured in the conflict.
A dispute had sparked in recent months between the two sides over RSF's integration into the armed forces a key condition of Sudan's transition agreement with political groups.
Sudan has been without a functional government since the end of 2021, when the army fired Prime Minister Obadiah Hamdok's transitional government and declared the state of emergency in a movement named by political forces as a “crus state”.
The transitional period, which began in August 2019 after the dismissal of multi-year-old President Omar al-Bashir, was scheduled to end with elections in early 2024.
