6:05 pm
few days. what are the prospects for this one? what, while both sides technically agreed to as his fi, that is due to start at around 6 p. m. local time. that's just under an hour. from now we have seen indeed, as you've said on sunday and monday to a cease fire attempts fail. and we've seen people try to step out of areas where they are trapped only to get shot at or head by shrapnel or heavy shillings as the 2 sides ex exchange fires. and just before the fighting, just before the cease fire that is due to come into effect at around 6 o'clock, we can hear the sudanese army fighter jets flying overhead in the central parts of the capitol. autumn. we can hear heavy shelling as the 2 sides are here at. no. yes, and i'm sure you can hear that to that. so that's what's going on right now. that's what's going on right now in the central parts of him, around the vicinity of the presidential palace around the vicinity of the general
6:06 pm
command of the army. and this is just with at the sci fi due to coming to an and an effect at less than an hour away. it doesn't look like those 2 sites, at least for the next 15 minutes or so. we'll stop fighting. yeah, i was going to ask you what it's like now, but clearly the fighting is ongoing. there's heavy artillery or, or showing that we can here. do you, are you getting a clearer picture now of who might be getting the upper hand or who's controlling what strategic locations we're looking at, the pictures that both sides are releasing because as well as fighting on the ground and as well as the student is army using fighter jets to fight from the skies. they're also launching a media war. the sudanese army says it's in control of the general command and the sydney and the city. they wrap it support for his release to put a showing that they are inside the are at the airport. now those 2 are right next to each other. so it looks like for the time being the iris f, the rapid support for star inside the airport. while the sudanese army controls the
6:07 pm
general command, but those are just 2 facilities in this capital. and there are other facilities as well. there's the state television under the control of the sudanese army. there's several camps of the r s f. it's not clear if they're in control of them or not at this fighting has not shown who has the upper hand so far. this meadows into north, another area where fighting today's concentrated on at the sydney's army claim to have regained control of the airport there. but those claims we've been hearing claims and counter claim claims from both sides, both sides release and footage. so it's not clear who has the upper hand and where at the moment we're, are we on diplomacy him because over the last 48 hours, 3 days, even you know, the chorus of voices calling for as he sees fire and calling for an end to the fighting has grown louder and louder, based on what your contacts had telling you. do you know if they're getting through to the warring sides on the ground? are this speaking to the worried so at wearing sides on the ground? yes, they are. are the worrying sides listening now this is the question,
6:08 pm
because both sides from the very beginning, release their own statements that painted a picture of how they wanted the situation to and the iris have made it clear that they wanted to take over all the army bases around the country, while the army made it clear that b r r s of the rapids afford forces are now a rebel group that they're determined to finish out. these are the very 1st statements we heard from both sides. now, due to diplomacy and due to international efforts, we now have a sci fi that is due to come into effect in less than an hour. but it's not clear for that if that's going to hold. and both sides have not agreed to mediation. and that's really the core of the issue here. that's what's going to stop the fighting . should that happen? both sides say that they do not want to negotiate with each other. they don't recognize each other and they just want to finish each other off. so we'll this, this, this 24 hour period of ceasefire. make them backtrack on bad. that's what's not clear yet for the time being. we're waiting to see if they will indeed, we honor the sci fi that they announced that will start at around 6 o'clock local time. and from there onwards,
6:09 pm
we'll see the 2 sites are willing to sit down and talk to each other, although if they will continue fighting. ok, huber that ceasefire, as you say, expected to start in some 50 minutes will speak to you them. hey, morgan reporting live from cartoon, missouri in of same lives, in cartoon with her husband and young baby, and serene, told elegy al jazeera that she hasn't less for house since the fighting began. a lot of houses around us, including us, are running out of supplies and, and food, especially that most of the food that we grew rich went off. it's 40 something degrees here and living for 4 days or no, no, no hope for through it just all right. we are all now sitting in a room where it is almost no windows. that's quite true. guard and floor for the babysit. 3 disturbing for the mental health because they keep paying
