DUDE!!! Fighting has broken out in Khartoum between the Sudanese army and the powerful RSF paramilitary group that claims to have taken control of the presidential palace and the international airport. Clashes erupted on Saturday in Sudan's capital Khartoum between the country's military and the powerful Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary, in what appears to be an attempted coup. The country's doctors' union said three civilians were killed and at least nine others wounded in the violence. Sudan's military, led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, overthrew long-term ruler Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. Eighteen months later, the military and the RSF staged a second coup, upending a transition to democracy. The two agreed to jointly hold power, but tensions between the military leadership and the paramilitary force have increased in recent months. www.dw.com/en/several-killed-as-army-battles-paramilitary-in-sudan-capital/a-65332510

OH OH here update Heavy gunfire, blasts heard in Sudan’s capital Khartoum Heavy gunfire and explosions rang out in Sudan’s capital Khartoum following days of tension between the army and a powerful paramilitary group. Shooting and blasts took place on Saturday in the vicinity of Sudan’s army headquarters and the defence ministry in central Khartoum, as well as the presidential palace and airport. Columns of smoke emanated from various places in the city of 10 million people and soldiers were deployed on the streets. Civilians were seen running for cover as artillery exchanges rocked Khartoum. Witnesses reported “confrontations”, loud explosions, and gunfire near a base held by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in south Khartoum. “The Rapid Support Forces were surprised Saturday with a large force from the army entering camps in Soba in Khartoum and laying siege to paramilitaries there,” the RSF said in a statement. The army “launched a sweeping attack with all kinds of heavy and light weapons”, it said. www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/4/15/heavy-gunfire-heard-south-of-sudanese-capital-khartoum
