Civilians in the capital, Khartoum, where the fighting is centred, have been posting videos of the clashes and recording their experience and fears of power, water and food shortages.

At least 97 people have been killed and hundreds wounded as clashes have spread since Saturday, when violence erupted between army units loyal to Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the head of Sudan’s transitional governing sovereign council, and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, led by Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, who is deputy head of the council.
