Fierce fighting erupted Saturday in Sudan’s capital of Khartoum between the military and the country’s powerful Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group, raising fears of a wider conflict in the country.
The RSF, which accused the army of attacking them first, claims they have seized the airports in the northern city of Merowe and in El-Obeid in the west, and the country's presidential palace.
The hostilities followed days of tension between the army and the RSF, which could undermine long-running efforts to return Sudan to civilian rule after power struggles and military coups.
