Firing continued in Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, despite a statement yesterday afternoon from the military saying that it had agreed to a three-day truce so people could celebrate Eid.
Several eyewitnesses have reported that fighting is continuing in the city, where clashes between rival military factions erupted last Saturday.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces had announced a truce from early on Friday, but there was no sign of it being implemented.
The UN estimates that at least 400 people have been killed across Sudan since the fighting began.
The main road leading south-east out of Khartoum has been the scene of fierce exchanges for the first time. ENDS
