7:02 pm
of starting the violence. at least 3 civilians have been killed. several are injured. smoke has been rising from several locations across the city since early morning, but there's still no clear picture of who controls what. and the fighting is concentrated in the sydney's capital at the moment the rapid support forces has taken control of the headquarters of the state tv network. heavy gunfire has also been reported at the presidential palace and plains have been seen burning at the international airport. victoria gap and b has this update. i heavy fighting spreads through call to him, his tensions between the cds army and a powerful tara military force spill over into the streets. i'm out of the army says it's descending itself from attacks by the rapid support forces across the capitol. it's now designating the force as a rebel group. lateral on come under conflict, entering our own the,
7:03 pm
our staff is trying to a so many critical positions. our forces are deployed and discharging their duties defending those positions. fighting has been underway since this morning until this moment. this is a battle for our national dignity. but the rapid support forces say that bases were attacked by the army. i. yo vis. basil will pave the way to a peaceful solution. all those criminals will stand trials. i cannot give a time limit to the fighting. however, we are edmund to end. it was the least of losses all flights had been cancelled at call team. international airport were armed, men are on the tarmac at rapid support forces have taken control of state television service, sudan, t, v i. i had to san one minus them. no. this was the moment the stations broadcast was caught. i tensions between the army and the rapid support forces emerged months after
7:04 pm
a military takeover in 2021. and the height when talks to integrate the r s f into the army stoled. i really feel very sad and very angry. actually i'm in the age and i see i see it to bit most of them. and when your boss will heal, you have been in cost it all this great devolution. and ah, you already committed an unsent ticket. cool. speaking of viet nam, us secretary of state antony, blinking said washington would continue to support sedans, transition to a civilian lead government. 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 for the civilian la transition. and one that we and other countries are trying to are to bolster people across sedan, up racing themselves. so more fighting
7:05 pm
a new crisis and an uncertain future. victoria gates and be al jazeera and hip morgan has the latest from cartoon. 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. hot too, you can still see smoke rising in the northern parts of the capital in the western part of the capital in the city of under man. and the fighting has intensified over the control of other airports as well, both sides trying to control the airport. and that's because the airports will be major supply routes for whatever managers to control it at the state television. and the rocket support forces are inside asper staff who was walked too, 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 facility around the capital and other states as well. ah,
7:06 pm
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 force 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 ads over the past 2 days than they will be notarial, there'll be no negotiations. and then we've heard from the commander of the rapid support forces describing the 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 as 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 wants to start talks, having the upper hand over the other. now. and boswell is the horn of africa director for the international crisis group. he's here in doha allen. can you help
7:07 pm
us understand in simple terms how we got to this point? sure, 0. i think it would help to go back to the omar alba, sheer days. he, of course, ruled sudan for 30 years, starting from 989, and near the end of his time in power before he was overthrown by the student. the revolution in 2019 the student needs security forces had grown really fragmented. he didn't let the official army weaken quite a bit. there was a lot of tribal militias. he essentially did what, what is called coup proofing in which he was concerned about any security institution being strong enough to overthrow and challenge him. so he allowed, you know, he allowed, basically a proliferation of different arm groups and centers of power within the country. crisis group was warning just 10 years ago, you know, while by sheer was still in power. that if he ever lost power,
7:08 pm
one of the big concerns would be that he left behind such a mess in terms of the military insecurity. that a huge risk was that these parties would themselves turn on each other. when he left our, this was, this was something that was a big concern. when bus year was ousted, essentially these, these 2 main actors, the army and the rapid support for that were able to collude now successfully for about 4 years to stay in power themselves. but there was always that core tension about who was the top dog between them. right. the army and the rapid support forces they. they fought side by side in the not too distant path, steven. up until recently, officially they were allies. why they fighting now? well the specific cause in the last few days and weeks has been a disagreement in particular over provisions related to the hand over power from the military to a civilian government,
7:09 pm
which has been promised since december and the, the army and the, and the paramilitary rapid support forces were disagreeing on a timeline in which the rapid support forces were supposed to integrated in the army. the army wanted them to integrate within 10 years the, the rapid support boards is essentially enjoy their autonomy. they've grown quite powerful and they were pushing for much more extended timeline. the the r s f commander general met. he has, he's known, also prefers the answer to a, to the civilian government itself. rather than to albert hand, the head of the, the head of the army. but more generally this, this is the tension between, between an old military guard based in the center and essentially a paramilitary force that has risen starting and dar 4 in the periphery and has been recruiting across the country and broke, going, growing increasingly powerful. and it's set the stage for basically
7:10 pm
a showdown between what are, what are 2 very powerful. ready security institutions inside the country. so is it fair to say that this is all about what, how much of a footprint each armed force will have in, as the country moves towards transition rule and tries to unify its army i think i, so i think that this is the army. you know, have been making a stand. they realize that the rapid support forces have been growing the head general him and he has political ambitions himself. and i think there was a sense that if they did not somehow force the rapid support forces to agree to integrate and to and to go under them. you know that, that essentially, that this force would keep growing and grow out of the control of the formal
7:11 pm
military. so there has been a talk. there has been a lot of negotiations about, you know, how power sharing would work and, and what role they would have. but i think that this comes down to a much more fundamental structural power struggle not just between personalities but between different areas of the country. between different ethnic groups and about the future of the country and who's in charge? alan boswell horn of africa director for the international crisis group. thank you very much. thanks year old at a warring size and the conflict in yemen have released more detainees on the 2nd day of a major prisoner exchange. this is the latest group of the prisoners to arrive in santa. the red cross says more than $800.00 detainees from both sides of the conflict are due to be released by monday. exchange is part of a broader diplomatic effort to end the 9 year conflict. shamela macy is a prominent. you have any activist and former political detainee, he says civilians have suffered
7:12 pm
a lot in yemen. yep. 84 percent of the population in need of some form of a 2 thirds of the population are foot insecure. people are sick. you go and ask any, any on the street these days and tell them, oh sure. when the war, who do you think should have the upper hand? who do you think should become the president of human and not a human is they'll tell you. we no longer care, i just need electricity. the clean water, we need a job. i need to be able to put bread of the table. that's all i care about. so when this level of 50 that we're really desperate to piece in which ever, whichever way it comes, a lot of people think the end of the war is going to happen within a few weeks or few months. i would caution against that, although i'm optimistic, but it's a cautious optimism. it will take, please, probably year or 2 years, because the conflict is not just simply between the food is in the saudis. it's protracted, it's polarized, there are
7:13 pm
a whole lot more parties and factions inside gym and that need to be brought into the process. it's an inclusive listed and comprehensive process, or the end of the war for sustainable piece. right now, it does, it is not in that shape yet, and germany is pulling the plug on it's 3 remaining nuclear power plants. oh, a and a nuclear campaign or is counted down as the nic harvest time plant came off the grid. the decision was made by then chancellor angle of merkel after the fukushima nuclear acid accident in japan. in 2011. the closure was due to happen at the end of last year. it was delayed because of germany's energy crisis. is that boston has more, from nec, or best time in southern germany. it's an end of an era here in germany, after decades of protests by anti nuclear activists. the last 3 remaining nuclear
7:14 pm
plants will be taken off the grid like this one here. and that's west time, which has me providing electricity for this region for nearly 50 years, for these activists here with some of them who have been taken to the 3 decades. it's a great relief and they're celebrated right now. do they talk this one? this is a wonderful day. we have fox for this for 50 years. at the same time. we've also been campaigning for renewables. and this is now the time renewables are making headway. but a decision has also led to con, prefers, and it's been fighting the country. i feel this very moment. a recent survey shows more than 60 percent of the people here in germany. think during an energy crisis, it's not the right time to take these nuclear plants off the grid. and scientists say they're worried that there will be more c o 2 emissions because governmental needs more fossil fuels like holes to put the vice for his energy. and it also worried that she probably will go up, and i might even just show it to a position on the fish. and that's called
7:15 pm
a rational decision. and i'm gonna put you on a government. everything will be right there will be enough energy. nobody needs to wear some else's era. next west, still ahead on al jazeera, the japan prime minister escapes unharmed after an explosion that a campaign event. i'm from the demo in my to muslim big where they are growing concerns of the impact of change with a pattern falling. one of the longest last in tropical storm reported is i ah, with hello. i think the word changeable sums up the weather across a good part of east asia. over the next few days. you see that band of cloud that's
