Fighting was also observed to have intensified in the Darfur region. Work Malign actors could 'hyper-charge' Sudan conflict, say ex-envoys   Feltman said the opportunities available for malign forces underscored the importance of a swift end to the fighting. "This is why a humanitarian ceasefire is the No 1 priority, meaning the welfare of the Sudanese people, the second being preventing outside actors from starting to think they need to intervene on behalf of their preferred victor in this fight," he said. "That's the key thing: if you stop the fighting, you basically eliminate the breeding ground for this outside interference." Work Cleopatra was light-skinned, Egypt tells Netflix in row over drama   “There is nothing wrong in casting Cleopatra as black,” Kenan Malik wrote in the Observer this week. “The problem lies in the resonances that flow from that.
