Sporadic fighting continues in Sudan capital

Despite the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) declaring they were ready to follow a three-day ceasefire with the army to coincide with the Muslim holiday of Eid, sporadic fighting is still occurring in the capital of Sudan, Khartoum.

The UN and a number of nations have been attempting to convince the two sides to accept a cease-fire.

The RSF said that, in order to thwart what it saw as a coup attempt, it was obligated to act in "self-defence" but nonetheless agreed to abide by the truce.

He said he remained committed to restoring Sudan to civilian rule, and called for everyone to abide by the slogan "One army, One people".
