(BBC) Sustained gunfire has been reported this morning in Sudan’s capital Khartoum, with fighting in the
country in its third day.
Almost 100 civilians have died during the violence, according to the Sudanese doctors’ union.
The fighting follows a rift between the leaders of
Sudan’s army and a rival paramilitary group the
Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
On Sunday, the two sides observed a temporary
ceasefire to allow the wounded to be evacuated.
Regional leaders say they hope to travel to Sudan
today to help end the violence – and there are calls
for the resumption of talks aimed at restoring a
civilian government.
The World Food Programme (WFP) has temporarily
halted its work in the country after three of its staff
were killed.
