: The armed conflict between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces continued into the night on Saturday in the capital Khartoum, sparking concerns for a wider conflict in the country.
The latest conflict capped the days of escalating tensions between the two main military forces in Sudan, which has been grappling with a political crisis since October 2021. In response, RSF Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo told Al-Jazeera that the army is the one who started the attack. The RSF also announced that it had taken control of the presidential palace, a strategic guesthouse within the army’s headquarters, and the Khartoum International Airport in the capital.
Videos posted on social media showed the Sudanese army targeting the headquarters of the RSF in Khartoum with warplanes, but Dagalo denied that the headquarters of his forces had been destroyed by the Sudanese army.
