8:06 am
deputy mammogram, dan douglas, commander of the rapid support forces each leader is accusing the other of starting the fight and refusing to negotiate the united nations african union. the united states and regional leaders are calling for an end to the hostilities their concern . it could become a full scale war and possibly spill over into neighboring countries. the main priority that, that's really shared by all of the country is to prevent these from moving into a full blown civil war. we're close to that one. no one, no really at that point here because because it's going to show what was done, the new that the device vision of a civil war will lead to so many issues on illegal migration and are if you just flowing out of the into countries that's already very fragile countries, and probably it's, you'll be out of issues in it as well, by the growing international pressure to stop the fighting an attempt at the fire.
8:07 am
it's unclear if these 2 leaders are willing to put aside their differences and commit to talks. he been morgan ultra 0 to me. what has also been fighting in a city of marijuana which lies north, west of cartoon with a battle for control of the airport on an air based on says here is thomas 5 document is there. i'm caliah. so we've been hearing gun fire both light and heavy weapons, which was likely to signal renewed, fighting within the vicinity of them at our airport in my up soon, it all came to holds. and what remains is the plumes of smoke from the vital installation within the facility close to its control tower. as you can see, this is the aftermath of the fighting that began a short while ago. the rapid support forces had said they had seized control of them at our airport claims denied by senior sources. we contacted in the sudanese army here in the northern province. they confirmed the airport is under the army

control as the armed forces deal with what they're calling a small pockets of rebels. an apparent reference to the rapid support forces or regional block of nations is planning to send the presidents of kenya, south sudan, angie booty to mediate incident. the inter governmental authority on development or e gather, says the leaders will be heading there as soon as possible. the african union has also called for an end to hostilities. it's chairman will also be going to khartoum to discuss an immediate cease fire. an arab league has held an emergency meeting to discuss the situation where mat bryden, is a strategic advisor at a 100 search a think tank, focusing on politics and security in the horn of africa. he says the violence could destabilize the entire region. there really doesn't seem to be any indication from the side that there is a, an option of negotiation. both are seeking total victory. and i don't think that's
8:09 am
a surprise for anyone has been following the tensions in the build up this conflict . now we're sudan to descend into full scale civil war. then the entire horn of africa, region, ethiopia, the, the most populous country in the region will be heavily affected south sudan, which is in crisis. egypt, which is one of the keep backers of the regime in cartoon. chad which has been hosting student is refugees for many years, all would be heavily effected. and so there is a scramble, including an african union emergency meeting this afternoon, or today in added sub about to try to respond to the crisis. but for now, what's happening, incident seems to be moving beyond anybody's control. i don't think there's any single actor that has the leverage with both sides. the united arab emirates has
