4:03 pm
support forces and rapid support forces of taking control of state television service, sudan, t, v. this was the moment the stations broadcast was cut it la, deleted and up with a bad i had to say. and one of them, yo yo, let's go straight to haber, morgan, who's lifeless in khartoum habit. just bring us up to date. first of all, what you are aware about what's happening with the fighting while reactions have been coming in from various governments, us secretary of state entity banking, says washington remains focused on supporting sedans, transition to a civilian lead to government. the major parties in cartoon, some weeks ago, reached
4:04 pm
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 other countries are trying to to bolster. so we're right, we're very focused on that along with, with other other partners don't campus as a, we can go back to hip morgan and call to him as you can imagine. of course, the signals coming in and out of call to me can be a little bit fragmented at times. given the circumstances hippa, how widespread is the fighting, just talkers through what the latest situation is and what people are seeing and hearing. while a fighting here in the capital, hot assume has spread to the western parts of her tomb city. and that is
4:05 pm
a street called hub, a street, which is just about a few kilometers away from here. so where we are right now, we can hear the sound of heavy artillery a being fired. it's not carry it with it's the, from the rabbits support forces or from the army in dar for specifically in, in north dar, forward, there has been a fight between the 2 sides over the control of a and fashion airport. and there's also niana airports in west are for us, it's obvious that the situation is actually escalating and not d escalating despite calls from several sides on both sides to deescalate situation because of concerns for ear, human lives and human casualties. so situation is a still unfolding. the fighting is still ongoing. there is still heavy gun. a gunfire that can be hurried around the capital consume. in another part of the capital, the smoke continues to cover the skies in the northern pause. and that's because that the iris have does have basses there as well. and because via the, the, the sudanese armed forces amal using fighter jets. so it's obvious that the situation is actually continuing to escalate. we've heard from the head of the
4:06 pm
rapids support forces describing the commander of the arm forces the criminal and that he will be pursuing him until just as, as a achieves. and then we heard from the commander of the armed forces, the general bid for the humble hon. a statement released from his office that a calling on the rapid support forces to withdraw from quarter to one from other new positions that they've acquired over the past few years and the past few days. so it's obvious that the situation is asked actually continued to escalate and not deescalate, despite calls from several sides, both inside the country outside for both sides to restrain themselves and to return to talks to try to iron out their differences and resolve the issues here. but this was all part of a process, a long term process of trying to work towards some sort of transitional government or for should, should on, after many years of conflict, it was only just a few hours ago that the leaders of the rapid support forces and the sudan military
4:07 pm
were agreeing that this was a process that was going to happen. and now within, as i say, a matter of hours, we now see sudan heading possibly towards a civil war. how are people reacting to all of this? people are confused. they knew that there were tensions between the rapid support forces and the armed forces, especially because of for months now, there have been walls being built up around at the headquarters of the army. they've seen the statements coming from the head of the r s f, and the statement coming from the head of the army are both of them seeming to be hidden messages directed as each other. veiled threats are directed at each other and then they've seen how the security sector reform talks have unfolded over the past her in late march. actually, they've seen how that unfolded, how the 2 sides were not able to negotiate with each other and aren't able to come to terms on how to integrate the rapid support forces into the army. so all of this to conform to many people would they already knew that the rapid support for sedan the army were not on the same page. and that there were tensions on going. but the
4:08 pm
concern was that because both sides are armed and have troops across the country, this would not be a battle that would break out on, in order to him or him in better. we only that this would something that this would be something that would and gulf the whole country, and this is what we're seeing right now. it started here in the capital heart of tomb. both sides accusing each other of being the one to instigated with immunity, extended to meadow in the northern part of the country. and now we're seeing other parts of the country like west, like north dar 4 and south dar for as well as west could to find being caught up in the cross a fire of the 2 sides here. but thank you very much. lead herbert morgan talking to us from courtroom or joining us by phone phone call to him. is l sonia or sula ow some money? former minister of state for the sudanese government, his currently chair of the political bureau at the democratic union, his party. so thank you very much indeed for being with us on all 0. the big question i would imagine that everybody is asking that was how do you stop this? is there any way that you can see of bringing this to an immediate close
4:09 pm
oh, well you only look, you all should, you should to bring the company forwards. on all the forces followed to an agreement, signed an agreement forming a government, the government, which will lay the ground full of free elections as the greed on do what i said the task and fold up to do this to us. now we see 2 pulses. we're supposed to be belonging to one called the situation of the price. we do not believe that that should be to one can we believe, suppose to have one in its own duties due to the
4:10 pm
situation. i'm not, but i so one side to impose or whatever. another day out of you'll be. so that least people money. they are using a big so that these people was fighting the only people the only one that knew that is that nice people know this is that is people is suffering for a long time. they're hoping to have a period of stability. it's to close their, well, it's not should i have to country could give you the bees, but no one people to speak with people that's going to need to know where i don't know what they want to do each. they want to do what that aiming to have an exam and that city levy and see me, i'm on, i mean,
4:11 pm
and whatever can we do? we wanted people to go and some this and now i strongly hopefully i'm appealing to the 2 sites. sit down and see what they're going to do to continue to with that need to get to know if this is a valuable country. this is a country with j. stone roads building the juliet's to the independent camping can please stop this group. students in other countries, but you know, suffering from lack of them, lack of lack of the unity state of unity. so we've told me we believe that is blown away other than go through
4:12 pm
a dialogue of a solution. it is not going to lead us whatever. who is going to defeat the other? forgive me for interrupting, but an interesting point and i want to ask you about the timeline for this. how concerned are you that if there is no immediate solution to the violence that's going on at the moment that sudan could be facing another civil war? we are very clean, very concerned, and they have to listen to the people, both sides, but they have a search from somebody they are using it. once it is what is what it is they're using it, they should do it in the proper way. not fighting to do to solve their problems is why we appear to them. votes proceed to the people and to see
4:13 pm

4:31 pm
ah what you all to 0 reminder, what top stories this are at least 3 civilians have been reported killed after a heavy fighting broke out between sedans, army at a powerful power military unit. the rapid support forces. the army says is defending itself and the tax, the rapid support forces and say, bear bases were attached by the army. all flights had been cancelled or called tomb international airport with some airliners on fire and armed men on the tarmac, passengers to be seen in panic as the fighting intensified. fighting is also taking place in the northern city of moral wait on thursday, the army warned for robert support forces were mobilizing in the area, but the group set its deployments was part of its choose. let's go straight to heaven. morgan in hot tomb hammer, is there any indication of any change in the fighting
4:32 pm
while, despite the calls are for the fighting to offer the situation to deescalate the fighting is still ongoing. we can still hear heavy artillery being fired in various parts of the capital cartoon. you can still see smoke rising in the northern parts of the capital in the western part of the capital in the city of on demand. and the fighting has intensified over the control of other airports as well. now, the airports in and fashion that there has been a battle ongoing between the hours f and the armed forces for the past. so i was trying to gain control off of that airport in north dar for bend is also north south, dar 4 in the city of nan or the army. and ours have are also fighting over the control of niana airport right now, both and fashion. and the airport are under the control of the armed forces. and here in hotels, the situation is very much the same, both sides trying to control the airport. and that's because the airports will be major supply routes for whatever managers to control. it's at the state television
4:33 pm
and the rapid support forces are inside asper staff, who we spoke to, but they're still fighting on going over the complete control of that facility. so still heavy battles on going between the 2 sides trying to gain controls of major facilities around the capital and other states as well. yeah. hipaa. there. there's a tweet by john godfrey. you us ambassador to see donnie. this was about 3 or 4 hours ago. he said, i just arrived late last night, and cartoon walk up to the deeply disturbing sons of john far and fighting. i'm currently sheltering in place with the embassy team as sit in his throat courtroom and elsewhere are doing. is there any efforts to try to find some sort of mediation in the conflict that's going on at the moment? and is there a chance that anybody's going to listen? well people have been trying to mediate between the 2 sides, even before we got to this point, to rob. and that's because should it reach to a fighting level between the 2 sides, then getting them to back down would be very hard. and this is where we are at
4:34 pm
right now. so several sides have put out statements calling on both the the iris have commander and the head of the army to use wisdom rather than forced to try to iron out their differences and to resolve the issue. but it doesn't look like this is going to happen because we've seen a statement from the head of the army to al jazeera, saying that unless the rapid support forces withdraw from the positions that they have a place, their forces at over the past 2 days than they will be no talks, there will be no negotiations. and then we've heard from the commander of the rapid, somewhat force of describing the, the head of the army as a criminal. so it doesn't look like just based on those words that are coming out from both sides, it doesn't look like they're ready to de escalate the situation. it looks like both sides are either side, wants to gain control of as much facilities of they can as much areas as they can before they try to figure out the next step. and if it will be negotiations, both sides once a thought talks, having the upper hand over the other. herbert, thank you very much. indeed. that's herbert morgan talking to us from the hall tomb
4:35 pm
. really good cameron, hudson. he's an analyst and consultant on africa. peace and security and governance issues of the center for strategic and international studies. they previously served as chief of staff. 2 successive presidential, special ed boys for sedan is joining us now from washington d. c. so thank you very much indeed for being with us over the last few years, the u. s. has regarded sudan a somewhat carefully because of course, the, the, the influence amongst other things of russia and china investment on the, on the african continent. how is the u. s. do you think that would be viewing what's going on in sit on well, i think washington has been watching the situation very. ready closely in sudan over the last several years, and certainly since the qu, back in 2021 trying to find a mediated solution trying to bring about a democratic transition in the country are part and parcel of democratic transition is. ready secure sector reform and so there has been, i think,
4:36 pm
a more intensive process. ready over the past month or 2 to try to mediate some kind of outcome between the rapid support forces and the sudanese armed forces to figure out what will be the future dispensation of sudan. so security forces, those talks have been going on, they've been tense and we have seen in the past few weeks, mounting tension, mounting troop deployments by both sides. so this, this fighting right now is certainly not a surprise by anybody who's been closely watching the situation in sudan. and i think why washington is probably is better placed, is anyone to try to intervene and to try to mediate. but what we're seeing right now is, is those messages fall on deaf ears. if i understand correctly said on paternity for the united states is strategically important, given its position with within the african continent. how concerned is the u. s. do you think with regard to the ramifications that might spill out over the borders of sedan in the event that this moves on to a broader civil war?
4:37 pm
well, i think there are a number of reasons why washington should be concerned. i think 1st and foremost, she dan represented a hopeful place where democracy might be able to emerge from autocracy. and that was going to be, i think, an important model for many countries across the region. if we can't help to make that happen, then i think that's a disappointing message that washington sands and it gives opportunity for russia and others to increase their positioning in these countries. obviously, sudan sits at a very strategic crossroads as well along the red sea. and so there are some geostrategic implications to seeing. sudan be stabilized. and again, as you've mentioned, got russia very actively involved on sudan, southern border, it's northern border, it's western border. so again, any, any opportunity that russia cease to be able to increase its positioning in sudan,
4:38 pm
i think is a, is a bad thing. bring less interesting, given the positioning as you were talking about, about russia already within the borders of sudan. does that in some way restrict fort action, the u. s. may take for fear of under certain circumstances provoking russia or drawing the 2 of them closer together than they would might require for this situation? i don't think so. i don't think that washington is, is overly concerned about provoking russia in this case. as matter of fact, i think it creates a real impetus for washington to, to take stronger action so, so that russia doesn't see this as a, as an opportunity to, to expand its presence on the, on the continent. but i think washington's 1st priority right now is not russia. it's trying to calm the fighting and trying to get people back to a place of dialogue and just try to save as many civilian lives as possible. that's the most immediate concern. really interesting because your thoughts on this common
4:39 pm
hudson. we appreciate a so thank you very much. in the thank you mariama maki is sedans, former foreign minister. she told us from ha to him that a conflict and no one can win. should never have started this war need. did that? does it need to come? because it takes too stupid, stubborn park is to go to war. things were already agreed to be settled by their look. already. we have signed a paper or for for security sector reform. it was signed by both of them, then they other civilian forces supported their agreement. so yes, this war was not at all anticipated. though we have been seeing how there have been deploying the troops from everywhere. how they have been confronting each other in inside the light is that the neighborhoods of the civilian people and inside the
4:40 pm
