Sudan: Violence spreads as explosions rock capital
BBC, 17 Apr 2023
Explosions and gunfire have been reported this morning in Sudan's capital Khartoum, with fighting in the country in its third day.
Almost 100 civilians have died during the violence, according to the Sudanese doctors' union.
The fighting follows a rift between the leaders of Sudan's army and a rival paramilitary group the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
On Sunday, the two sides observed a temporary ceasefire to allow the wounded to be evacuated.
Regional leaders say they hope to travel to Sudan today to help end the violence - and there are calls for the resumption of talks aimed at restoring a civilian government.
