Shelling rocked greater Khartoum on Friday, as fighting between Sudan's warring generals intensified despite US sanctions imposed after the collapse of a US- and Saudi-brokered truce. | ManilaBulletin
Witnesses reported artillery fire around the state television building in the capital's sister city of Omdurman, just across the Nile.
Washington slapped sanctions on the warring parties Thursday, holding them both responsible for provoking "appalling" bloodshed. So far neither side has managed to gain a decisive advantage. The regular army, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, has air power and heavy weaponry, but analysts say the paramilitaries are more mobile and better suited for urban warfare.
Since fighting erupted on April 15, more than 1,800 people have been killed, according to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project. When the fighting erupted, the UN envoy had been focused on finalising a deal to restore Sudan's promised transition to civilian rule which was derailed by a 2021 coup by the two generals.
