Sudan’s Foreign Minister Mohieldin Salem has said his government is protecting Africa from external plots by confronting foreign interference in his country’s brutal civil war, deep into its third year, as he called on the African Union (AU) for support in its efforts to stabilise the country.

In an interview with Al Jazeera in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on Thursday, on the sidelines of a meeting of the AU’s Peace and Security Council, Salem said the government-aligned Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) war with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary was a battle against external intervention.
