to tackle the problem one day i might be covering politics or in the next, on my payroll by process from serbia hungry to what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through so that i can convey the headlines in the most human way possible. here it al jazeera, we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. ah, knowledge is here. with you. oh, a lot about photo heavy fighting on the streets of call to a violent escalation between sedans,

army and the power military rapid support forces. old flights have been canceled the call to international airport and the fighting has extended to the knolls in sudanese town of med away. ah, i'm sammy's aid and you're watching al jazeera is continuing coverage of the unrest in sudan. also, i had a warning sides in yemen to release more detail needs as part of a major prisoner exchange. ah, japan's prime minister escapes on hom, doctor, an explosion as a campaign event. police arrest the suspect and these are the scenes coming in from sudan. that's the capital. as we can see,

plenty of smoke as that fighting continues a battle ground between the army and the countries both powerful power military forces. the rapid support forces has been heavy gunfire and explosion with fighting under way. multiple locations. we're looking at live pictures now coming in from car tomb at hold. as you can see, we're looking at claims on file withhold at least a couple of planes are on fire that car to international airport is that fighting continues between the army and between power for standards. the rapid support forces go straight to heaven, morgan in call to have a quiet, dramatic pictures. we're looking at with claims on file in call to our full

yes, the semi and that's because to me airport or rather the control, the control for her to my 4th is now is right now. a battle ongoing between the rapid support forces and the military. now, sorry, yes. now the military has released a statement saying that they have control of all major facilities, while the rapid support forces said that they're in control of airport, but it's clear that the battle is still ongoing for that. for the control of the airport. we know that to airlines where it had including a saudi arabian airline, it's not if there were passengers on board. and that's because all of the thought that unfolding just about 3 and a half hours ago and the functions or rather the, the, the, the airport was shut down rather swiftly and rapidly. so there, if there were passengers on board or if there were no passengers, we do know that there are people civilians trapped in 5 the airports. i'm able to get out because there is fighting on going on airport street as well as the around

the vicinity of the airport, both 5 looking to gain control. on the other hand, i'm pretty sure you can still hear the sound of gunfire around me. and that's because we're still within the vicinity of the presidential palace. and the fighting is still ongoing for the control of that, that location, the presidential palace, which despite not being a military installation, is going to be symbolic for whoever controls that and who would show who has the upper hand, at least for the time. but it is under the control all. so gunfire is still ongoing around the vicinity of the presidential palace around the airport, where 2 airlines have been hit around the northern parts of the capitol. and there are now civilian casualties being reported and heavy. heavy figure is being reported by the doctor, the association of injuries among civilians. and within the last few minutes, however, i've been reading reports of the fighting spreading even further in sedan fashion. in the, for my part i'll be good talk us through is this is situation where the country is

being engulfed. if it sounds like all right, we might be having a bit of trouble getting through to him. she's doing an outstanding job, but clearly very challenging environment. we could hear gunfire erupting around her indicative that the battle for the presidential palace continues despite claims otherwise, but clearly a battle still ongoing for that presidential palace. we're looking at pictures coming in on the left hand side with the latest pictures from call to me international airport with plains burning, that we know we've been told at least

a couple of civilian airline. this was burning as a result of this conflicts on the right hand side. you've got light fixtures in the small box of the capital costume. elsewhere in the capital costume, with a lot of black smoke because several spots iraq with fighting not just the airport. we're told fighting around the presidential palace fighting at the respectful rapids in full force. the headquarters fighting in a prominent neighbourhood called and mouth haul districts. these areas which house key installations fighting was hold the rob thing around and close to the television and radio station. very disturbing scenes the we saw earlier pictures

of the sudanese mig 29 fine to planes flying over the sky and at least one video to show i make 29 firing which will suggest that the air force has been called into action. that's usually is a sign of intense fighting when you have to call in for air support. let's break it down for viewers catching up on all of this herb intentions between the sudanese army on the one hand. and also the rapid support forces. all of this words which were told was heading towards the resolution until just 3 hours ago. fighting broke out. i believe, however, is back with us right now and hippa, hopefully you can hear me now. we're getting reports of fighting,

breaking out in new air in more areas like hal fashion and our foreign and mccardle abuse is fighting engulfing this country. that's what it sounds like. hi. and this is what we, i did say earlier and we spoke about and this has been the concern of really anybody who has been paying attention to sedan as the fact that the r s. f and the sudanese armed forces have forces and troops around the country and that there were areas already volatile such as dar for after with 20 years of our civil war and golfing that region. and it just think is just about a couple of years ago. so there are reports of fighting in north, therefore we cannot confirm, however, where exactly it has started and whether they are a surveys or the armed forces base has been attacked. so it's not clear yet what exactly is happening in north dar for we did see a statement from the armed forces that they are in control of all facilities,

such as the airports, the state television, the republican palace, ah, that is all under the control. those are all under the control of the armed forces, the rapid support forces saying that they are defending themselves and that they are in control of meadow we air base. that's where all the tension started between the armed forces or, or rather increased their detention increased between the armed forces and at the military and the rapid support forces. so lots of conflicting reports right now on who has control of what. but what we do know, sammy, is that he has this fighting is not going down. in fact, it is increasing. we're seeing here in the capital hot, somewhere just 3 hours ago. you could see smoke in the southern parts of the capitan. or you can see the northern ethan and western part of the capital as well . so the capital is now involved in and caught up in the scot. this done fired and you can see a fighter jets in the skies of the capital boom. so things are not going down at some d escalating it's brother collecting here in cartoon motto,

we do have a reporter in murray who said that the fighting seats have that down a little bit, but he's not sure if that's because one side, it's in control where they say the armed forces or the ra support forces, or whether that's because a bar both sides are out of ammunition for the time being. it's not clear what is exactly going on there. and that's again because this happened by surprise. people knew that there were tensions, people knew that those 2 could go ahead to head and there could be an armed confrontation. but they also had optimistic. they had cautious optimism because just up until the early hours of this morning, both sides after meeting with mediators mediator said that they wanted to de escalate the situation. so a people were and what people knew up until the early hours of this morning was that both of the head of the armed forces and the head of the rapids of what forces are ready to de escalate and then busy the 2 sides fighting each other militarily, so obviously lots of confusion among civilians, lots of confusion among political parties among the international community. all sides calling for the escalation. but what looks like there was,

looks to be happening right now with an escalation, a lot of confusion. indeed, whoever stay with us was on the point of confusion. if you take a look, hurts state television to try and perhaps clear up some of that confusion. you might not get a lot of indication of what is actually happening there. very go. you can see state tv or now they were earlier talking about cooking. now, it songs a very different reality from what we're seeing on the ground compared to what you're seeing on stage t v right now. that might be indicative, no doubt that her the battle goes on as well. for some of those 2 institutions like the state television huber, we're also hearing reports from the sudanese army, a claim that the field commander of the rapid support forces has been killed. are you hearing anything to that effect?

we have seen that statement from the army. we are trying to verify whether indeed the field commander of the rapid support forces have been injured or not. but what we do know is based on the statements from the army and the statement that just came in from the rapid support forces themselves, is that 2 of their camps have been attacked, or by the year by the armed forces and have been destroyed. and this, they have called on all soldiers of the armed forces to stand by them, despite them being on the opposite side here of the armed forces. ah, so we do know that there have been a heavy loss of our i would say facilities here from the iris f side. but then that, that because a, some of their building, some of them within the vicinity of the army headquarters themselves have been destroyed by the armed forces. so things are escalating. it's still not clear who has the upper hand in this fights out for the control of the capital control of major facilities. like the airports, the army headquarters, the republican palace and the state television. and who has control of mary. we air

base where things are started to escalate 24 to 48 hours ago. b for denise on for says have called on, on the offices that they had with the on 2nd one to the recept. they say that those offer to go come back to fight on the side of the 4th. and so again, this is only going to contribute to more confusion to what is happening right now are unfolding in the capital. have someone in other parts of the country. all right, thanks so much. we're going to come back to later, but we're going to take stock of everything. let's go over now to the but i is a member of the sudanese congress. he joins us live from cause him good to have you with us. so we know the congress policy is one of those that empower has been calling for both 5 to stop the fight. but by all indications though, doesn't look like there's a lot of appetite right now for the escalation, right? yes, you have been taken by surprise this morning by the sound of the month. as you know,

i regard my phone from the airport area where apparently there's been a huge confrontation, deafening sounds of motors, and some was a little bit surprising. i'm choking for the civilian for my family as well. you know, the tension has been committed to for some time during the last week with the spot. the c signatories agreement have been doing lots of to open the channel between the the sort and his name is so yesterday, a little bit more to mistake because of the

question i make, i managed to contact both phones and there was some time from the installation mechanism could be established and avoid what happened today. apparently, we don't have much information. we know that the confrontation is contradicting. uncompleted statements and formations come from all over saddam. but we see with our students will be confronted. confrontation is extremely alarming. and we are afraid this my

thought for some long for on the possibility for a political process, we moved to a new stage of negotiation between groups reduction of the to the extra year. diminishing any possibility for getting back the transition. i'm sure any possibility for, for future democratic transformation, we have been in contact with him within the international community. we hope that it will be this conflict to control. is there any sign or any sign that the mediation effort has resumed?

now though, we're reports that the head of the army general the headboard hub, and of course the head of the rapids support forces. how many t as he's known, how many gallo day was supposed to meet today? that was the expectation that things were moving forward. exactly. but that happened yesterday, but in the ship it didn't happen. it seems that what went wrong? can you show like what went wrong? we will all the news was and both sides with talking about a resolution was changed in the last you know, when you're not find the answers with the petitions, the remain within the walls of this to

be sort of so we know that there's a lot of things happening inside we don't have enough information. and we know that both both type regional international allies, a lot of dynamics within the military sphere and lots of escalation. unfortunately out of the limits of what we can do for the time. but hopefully some discussion would have been we, we record some negotiations on some channels to be open between the 2, the 2 side to, to find a way out obviously to read this because, you know, if there was a response,

i love of invitations that, that it is expanding, paul, and maybe it'll become one of the most damaging the longest was in the history of where does this leave the hopes for the transition of power, the civilian rule. yes. we are entering the state confrontation, it will be extremely, extremely complicated. already complicated. we were over the, you know, within this librium here between these 2. i mean that we are trying to sort out some physical solutions to proposal for security reform institutional report for the

use of the general. but since this confrontation this morning, the situation is becoming extremely much complex. but we love the website to do our best to find a peaceful way. it seems like it's, it's not, it's not just one before for about 3 present love, but then just for the whole region, we've been stable region with conflict that can hope for the pick up the case.

we're hoping for that. all right, thanks so much for sharing your perspective on this and reactions. of course, i think coming in from various governments now the us secretary of state entity, blink and says, washington remains focused on supporting sedans, transition to a civilian life, government. the major parties in cartoon, some weeks ago, reached a very important framework agreement on how to proceed with a transition to civilian government. it's a, it's a fragile situation. there are other actors that may be pushing against that, that progress. but this is a real opportunity to finally carry forward the civilian la transition and one that we and, and other countries are trying to are to bolster. so we're, we're,

we're very focused on that along with, with other other partners. and that's mazama is a human rights activists and joins us now from khartoum. good to have you with us. i'm sure you heard there the word. so v u. s. secretary of state offering the u. s. is support for a civilian transition. this must come as a very depressing development though, for those who have struggled, full civilian transition, who struggled for human rights like yourself to pollution. thank you for for the attention that you're getting on. but it's a, it's very frustrating and also depressing situation. and people do not understand what's going on. exactly. is it defy between the the are and within the army or is it or is it just like something that could between them we don't know what's going on only now from my balcony here age a year. you know,

the sounds of shooting coming from like city or far direction to the airport to street. and of course where it started, which is down to south coast and also towards the army headquarters in denial city area. delicate a city stop right now. internet services that are affected, it's becoming very weak rumors and also this information and also spreading just like fire among the people. people are keeping quiet inside their houses. you know, everything about, you know, you can here and to just about victim 40 or 50 persons were kill. some of them like come young guys and some of them were just using the sport the

looks i'm supposed to around this house before to international community is keeping silent to me the year we hear about from the american, the street by the american ambassador that he woke up with all the fountain and then use just though so he was just surprised like the majority of opportunities to ation is not clear. now we can hear the song, but we don't know exactly what it is. what does it come from and what's going on? and who is winning? because of a lot of contrast to the messages from the statement, by the honest, i think very nice. like for that number 1234, and also the army spoke person is also using a bit of information every now on this thing that the us fire lying. and this is not the truth and the situation under the control. so it's really clear and of

course, affecting the job situation and what would they cannot make situation with any people now or fasting in ramadan lines in the bakery shop? because people, they want to get rid where they bring their fast later, all the shops are close to another. so scared people in the hospitals because of the electricity that this cut off power. so it's a to city me. it adds to the photo, this many been these continuous stuff. and since the last 34 years, a very difficult situation you describe indeed we hope a resolution is found to this and us and the suffering bare ease is to thank you so much for talking to us. hurts sir, talk you through some of the pictures that you're seeing now. as you can see,

multiple scenes of conflict, iraq thing throughout sedan on the left side of your box. what you can see, we're told on fi, there is the headquarters of the rapids support forces building. that's one of the main paramilitary forces headed by mohammed. the gallow, also known as humidity. and he is the number to person figure in the sudanese transition or council or government. clearly that's divided against itself because his forces fighting against the head of that council, the sudanese army, led by muhammad and bore han, we also had some other boxes off a 2nd ago, or you can see troops or at an air base. and you can see another part on the top box that is sudan international airport. the latest pictures where we're told at least 2 civilian plains are on fires, fighting iraq to their ah,
