Heavy fighting is being reported near the presidential palace in Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, and in a neighbourhood in the west of the city where homes belonging to the head of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and his family are located.
The RSF says it is committed to a 24-hour ceasefire starting at 6pm local time (16:00 GMT); no immediate comment by the Sudanese army.
Martin Griffiths, the United Nations’ under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator, says the fighting has “totally shut down” the world body’s work in Sudan.
Griffiths called on the two generals of the fighting parties to “knock it off and respond to the needs of their people”.
