Sudan's army chief and head of rival paramilitary vow to fight on until victory as clashes in multiple cities leave at least 25 people dead and 183 wounded, according to a doctors' union
Armed clashes continue between the army and the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan's capital Khartoum and its various cities.
Two people were killed at Khartoum airport, four in neighborhing Omdurman, eight in the city of Nyala, six in the city of El Obeid and five in El Fasher,After a day of heavy fighting, the military ruled out negotiations with the Rapid Support Forces [RSF], instead calling for the dismantling of what it called a "rebellious militia." The tough language signalled that the conflict between the former allies, who jointly orchestrated the 2021 coup, was likely to continue.
One eyewitness told Reuters late on Saturday they could hear sounds of explosions in the vicinity of the airport in central Khartoum. The RSF leader, General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, better known as Hemedti, called Burhan a "criminal" and a "liar".
