Christians in Sudan are appealing for prayer amid fears that Islamist extremists may exploit the growing conflict and instability in the country.
According to Open Doors, the country's two million Christians fear Islamist extremists could use the current chaos to bring about a devastating return to harsh Sharia law.
Fikiru Mehari, an Open Doors researcher for the East Africa region, has warned that the collapse of the country will cause "untold suffering" for the people of Sudan.
The warning comes as hundreds of foreign diplomats from the US, UK and other countries were evacuated on Sunday following a week of fighting.
Mehari said it had been "a very difficult time" and that the people of Sudan were living in a state of "confusion" about the country's future.
The fighting is already affecting Christians, with pastors and their flocks separated from one another as people hide away indoors.
"Church leaders I am speaking to are urging everyone to pray," said Mehari.
