Heavy fighting in Sudan, which has plunged the nation into chaos and killed hundreds, has also raised fears about the fate of 25 lions and other animals in a wildlife reserve.

The facility said it was without electricity to power safety fences around enclosures and running low on food for the felines, which each require five to 10 kilogrammes of meat a day.

The clashes have killed more than 400 people, wounded thousands and threatened a descent into wider turmoil in the northeast African country, already one of the world’s poorest. It said it no longer had a permanent staff presence at the sanctuary, located an hour’s drive South-Eeast of Khartoum near a military base that had been rocked by “deadly clashes on a daily basis”.The sanctuary houses 25 lions and various other animals including gazelles, camels, monkeys, hyenas and birds.
