he blames the rapid support forces for breaching the truce back in our leadership, considered the humanitarian situation of people in hospitals, children, and infant. the rapid support forces said that a truce can only happen for you monitor in reasons. and they breached it before it started. they are known for betrayal, cowardice, and aggression. they have no religion or morals to themes you see on social media are for people serving for an agenda. and now foreign countries have imagine them and said it is a terrorist organization or group of thugs and thieves. more than 10000 people have fled to sit down and trust in to neighboring chad. the world food program says that number could rise 210-0000. the refugees are in dire need of essentials, including food, clean water, and shelter. appear on iraq is the world food programs, country director for chad. he says even before the latest fighting child was struggling to help refugees from sit down, you know, we have already $400000.00. refugees in 14 jumps alongside the boulder. so we've got new in flux and was absolutely no funding for the 400000

the past few days, differences between the rapid support forces and the army have emerged who have been that there were there were differences, but some key issues, particularly on the issue of command, as the rapid support forces were supposed to be merged into the army within an agreement, there was some escalation between the two groups in the northern town of malawi yesterday and the day before. but now we're seeing the fighting come to khartoum. last week, actually, when the first of those deadlines were passed, i spoke to three sudanese women as part of another bbc programme and they were expressing the very real experiences of living under such uncertainty, and they also express their potential desire to leave. does that seem like a very real scenario now? how how safe are people feeling? that is exactly i think the sentiment throughout throughout the country. people have been seeking ways to leave the country for the past months. even more so with the coup of october 25th and 2021, and the idea that the transition into a democracy would happen, i think more and more people have

the army says it's defending itself from attacks by the rapid support forces across the capitol. it's now designating the force as a rebel group. plan on come under complicated interino yourself is trying to assault 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, this battle 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 adamant to end it with the least of losses. ah, all flights have been cancelled at car team international airport were armed, men are on the tarmac and rapid support forces of taking control of state television service, sudan, t. v. ad by the henderson were modest though this was the moment the stations broadcast was caught. tensions between the army and the rapid support forces emerged months after military takeover in 2021. and the

capital hard to me have not reacted much to this new announcement overseas fire both by the rapid support forces and the food in these army. because the seen how the previous these fires have played out, they've seen the repeated airstrikes by the nice army. the artillery tried by the rapid support forces and the continued presence of troops from both sides in part of the capital her tomb. so many of them say that this, the fire is likely to and just like the other previous, the flyers. and that shows how much faith these people here have one person who we spoke to on whether they believe the sci fi would be different than any other. they said that that person said that the foreigners have evacuated. most of the foreigners are gone and hospitals have been bomb, so it's highly unlikely that the fire is meant for us, that it's being mediated by foreign side and being forced upon the 2 sites. the 2 were in 5 by foreign sites with highland likely that it's actually the government or the sudanese army and the rapids support forces who wanted and as continuous fighting here in the capital. just about

so have any response from the rapid support forces to that offer to hold talks while the rapid support forces is yet to respond to the proposal by the intergovernmental authority for developments, that's the regional block. that proposed not only talks between the rapid support forces and the for denise army, but also proposed another 72 hours. he's fire after this one and tonight. so the rapid support yet to respond. but the army thing tentatively and that's the key word there tentatively. it has accepted sending an envoy to south sudan, now the south for the new site when we spoke to them earlier this morning said that they're, they're having a hard time reaching the rapid support forces as fighting continues between the 25 here in the capital to him and in other parts and became a parent situation in the capital and elsewhere is getting quite dire. the humanitarian situation in sudan has been deteriorating rapidly since violence broke out 12 days ago. people say they're running out of food, water and medicine, and they will not be really suffering granules are closed and we cannot g

and they want the, the, the, the group, the group, the 4th of the rapids support forces. because they're now rebels. they want to, to, to basically obliterate them. that's the statement that we're getting from the army . then we had the statement that we got from the rapid support forces chief on the face of the fighting, that he will not stop until he takes over all the army bases. so despite the mediation efforts, the international and the regional mediation efforts, it look like it looks like both sides do not want to talk to each other. and if they do, they want to do that. when one side has an upper hand over the other. he'd been more than one person how to him. thank you very much. indeed. shortly out of us, he's far came into force. are you an under secretary general fish military affairs, martin griffith's tweeted, the targeting of humanitarian workers and facilities continues and dawn were receiving reports of attacks and sexual violence against aid workers. he added this is unacceptable and must stop mystery. an assignment lives in cartoon with her husband and ba

military, once people to state indoor the 2 sides are fighting full control, the military and the rapid support forces both claim to be in control of important locations around the country. oh, within some part of the army says it's gained ground taking basis, run by the paramilitary force it on sunday afternoon. both sides agree to a cease fire for 3 hours on humanitarian grounds, starting at 4 pm local time. that was violated, an hour later. the pause in fighting targets of those who have been trapped in places like hospitals and schools since saturday. many were cut off from food and drinking water as fighting between the army and the rapid support forces killed dozens and injured hundreds more. fighting also took place in residential areas, area heavy fighting, then it blocked off by soldiers and there's gunshots and snipers. and i'm from here. you can't see any, any dead bodies. but i have, i, i friends who are in that zone and they can't leave their house. the fighting has spread to the east, them city of port sedan under man and body disrupting energy and what a supplies. hospitals are in lockd

this conflagration the army and the rapid support forces, people are warned about it for years. al—bashir was ousted in 2019. however, for some time that abdel fattah al burhan was trying to maintain peace between their armed forces and the rapid support forces. with the trust broken down, i have heard from some of my sources in khartoum that both generals have their telephones off, suggesting that these generals do not want to be engaging with the region or the international community. however, if the united states and secretary blinken has spoken to general abdel fattah al burhan earlier this week, and the general gave assurances that they wouldn't go down the confrontation route, now we are there. more generals have been making —— both generals are we making —— both generals are we making promises and have reneged on them several times. many people in khartoum are setting this down, they want to see what happens at the end of the day. for them, there is complete opposition to any military rule again. complete opposition to any military rule aaain. ., ~ complete opposition to a

what i would say is the rapid support forces have historically been better equipped at fighting in the greater capacity in urban areas and that could be how this ultimately falls whether the sudanese armed forces are sitting in urban areas and the rapid support forces attacking them from urban centres. sorry, from rural areas. so, we are about to see exactly how this pans out. the last thing i would say on this though is the prospect of a regional intervention here, both of these gentlemen and forces have backers from the region, talking about egypt, south sudan, chad, centralafrican sudan, chad, central african republic, sudan, chad, centralafrican republic, libya and potentially ethiopian, but this is the real concern also beyond a wider ethnic citation and civil war component here is a regionalisation of this conflict because again both leaders really have strong connections with key leaders across the region.— connections with key leaders across the region. thank you so much for _ across the region. thank you so much for your— across the region. thank you so much for your analysis

the rapids support forces say the air force is indiscriminately targeting areas in cartoon. while the army accuses it of using civilians as human shields, russia has been chairing a meeting of the un security council, a move condemned by even bassett us are cynical, speaking before the russian foreign minister, surgeon lab rav un secretary general antonio gutierrez, did else what he called the devastation of ukraine. the u. s. sexual state anthony blinkin is meeting kenya's foreign affairs minister alfred. that's how i would sued on top of that agenda. both men have been pressing military leaders and her to to renew and expound a recency spire. we have been in touch repeatedly throughout this crisis with her, with a variety of them. i've spoken directly to counterparts of saudi arabia in the united arab emirates, other members of our team who are spoken to, to egypt and other countries, the united kingdom, all to the same end, which is trying to get a cease fire trying to get more sustainable cessation of hostilities and then trying to get the country back on track to the tr

that's because they believe that they're seen as either belonging to the rapid support force. if it's the army attacking or to the army. if it's the rapid support 4th of the attacking. but they say that the risk of the chances of being shot may be there, but if they stay here and how to him because of the lack of electricity for 6 days now, because of the shortage of drinking water because of the difficulty to acts of medical facilities that rather take that risk and go to places like river and out into north or just in the south. central parts of, for them to be able to find at least basic come on with commodities and get medical assistance, should been in some shows just how important sci fi is at this point in time. thank you so much. have a morgan for us, and how to when the, when s is an indian travel blogger and youtube, who was visiting sudan when the conflict began. he says this fighting just the kilometer from his location. but he has to stay where he is. i don't have any plans . right? no, i don't have any plans because the people who are pulling from the cd to the al
