Port Sudan, Sudan -- The Sudanese army clashed with tribal militiamen in Port Sudan late Monday, witnesses said, the first

Port Sudan, Sudan — The Sudanese army clashed with tribal militiamen in Port Sudan late Monday, witnesses said, the first fighting in the strategic coastal city in more than five months of war.

One witness who spoke on condition of anonymity said “soldiers deployed in the area after removing checkpoints set up by the militia”, while others reported a “return to calm” soon after. Burhan has since made six trips abroad from Port Sudan in what analysts say is a diplomatic push to burnish his credentials in the event of negotiations to end the conflict.Darar — who supported the army at the start of the war before raging against government officials moving to eastern Sudan — has not announced an alliance with the RSF.

Intense fighting since Saturday had set fire to key buildings of Khartoum’s skyline, turning emblematic towers in the city centre into blackened skeletons.
