Deadly clashes between Sudan’s army and the notorious Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have erupted over the proposed transition to civilian rule. The power struggle has resulted in at least three civilians deaths, and residents have dodged gunfire as the rival forces battled over the presidential palace, state TV, and army headquarters. The army says its opponents, the RSF, are being targeted by jets, while both sides claim to control the airport and other key sites. The situation has prompted Saudi and EgyptAir to suspend flights to Khartoum while neighboring Chad has closed its border with Sudan. The UK, US, and EU have called for an immediate end to the fighting.
