7:04 pm
hospital is in the city of on demand. gonna give you the love for that of the open . we lack medical staff and facilities. our shifts have been extended, but there are only one or 2 doctors to cover 2 or 3 departments in normal circumstances. this wouldn't happen, but now the situation is so difficult that with essential supplies running out to those who can stream out of the country, relieved to be out of immediate danger, but uncertain about when it will be safe to return victoria gate and be al jazeera, joining us from khartoum as have a morgan, so have other reports of fierce fighting in bahati. that's north of cartoon. what more do we know about what's going on there? while fighting is still ongoing between the rapid support forces and this is denise army in have fire. that's in battery, in the northern part of the capital residents have been warned to stay indoors. and that's just by the fact that this is supposed to be a period of cease fire, where there should be a low in fighting for people to be able to get out and get their basic necessities
7:05 pm
from the supermarket or from shops or attend to them, make medical needs, but that's not possible in body as well as in the city of andrew man. that's the think that the of the capital hard to me whether it's been fighting between the rapid support for and the food in these army. so despite the fact that there's supposed to be a cease fire fighting is still ongoing between the 2 sides, especially around the vicinity of the presidential palace and the general command of the army. now the general command of the army is under the control of the army themselves, but then you have the presidential palace that's under the control of the rapid support forces. and the army is trying to bring it back. and there's another thing that is coming into play right now in the conflict between the 2 sides. and that's the central with their felice. that's about parts of police that has its special unit. it's a special unit, and it has been sanctioned by the us for its role in a pressing protest during the following, the coo of the military in october 2021. now the rapid support, 4th says the deployment of that troops is bringing in
7:06 pm
a 3rd party into the conflict that is supposed to be only between them and the army . so that's likely to cause more attention and more insecurity in the buy in the capital for people who are trying to leave their homes and find ways out of the capital. and how about what we read into the comments by the army, general hon. who says that he will not be negotiating with the rapids for forces. what more do we know on that than what does it mean for any diplomatic efforts going forward? while diplomatic effort have not stopped since the fighting began 15 days ago, the regional body i got has been trying to mediate between the touring parties, trying to facilitate talks and the foreign minister of students. i bet they spoke to the army general general abdel han, and he agreed to send an envoy to the south to the new capital tuba. now we know that both 5, the rapid support forces and the sudanese army both agreed on their representatives for tufts, but it's not clear when the socks, what happened? this is of course, after we heard from the record support for the thing. they will not be any talks
7:07 pm
unless there's a fee fight in place and less fighting seasons between the $2.00 sides. and the soldiers are not attacked by the denise army. then you have the general of the army saying that he will not negotiate with b r a, unless it is to make sure that it is no longer in existence or it completely perishes. so while the 2 sides agree to mediators that they will negotiate and that they will try to end up fighting on the ground. and when you look at what's playing out, it doesn't look like that is going to happen anytime soon. thank you. have i have a morgan reporting from her to me? so as we've mentioned, people are still scrambling to flee the conflict egyptian authority. se 14000 student, he citizens have entered the country in the past week. so don itself is hosting more than a 1000000 refugee is most from south ford on. many of them are now returning home. the un has also registered about 14000 return knees and says many more our routes up to a 125000. the un also says at least $20000.00 people have crossed into charge,
