Both men had signed an internationally backed draft deal in December meant to provide a road map to civilian leadership, but Sudanese activists say it elevated Hemedti into a direct threat to Burhan by making the two equals and not demanding that the RSF integrate into national forces.
British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said “the immediate future lies in the hands of the generals who are engaged in this fight, and we call upon them to put peace first.” Photos shared by satellite imagery company Maxar showed smoke rising Sunday morning from planes at the airport and more smoke coming from the Khartoum railway authority, the Energy Ministry, the Defense Ministry, the general command of the Sudanese army and the Kober Bridge across the Nile River.
