Explosions, gunfire reported in Sudan's capital on Thursday as fighting between the forces of two rival generals showed no signs of abating ahead of festivities marking the end of Ramadan
As fighting continues on Thursday, many terrified Sudanese fled Khartoum, hauling whatever belongings they could carry and trying to get out of the capital.
Some of the fiercest battles have taken place in the capital Khartoum, a city home to five million people, most of whom have been cloistered in their homes without electricity, food and water. But witnesses said gunfire did not cease in Khartoum from the appointed time and into the night, as another ceasefire was breached within minutes of its supposed start for the second time in as many days.
The Sudanese army in a statement said the Egyptians had been evacuated from Dongola, north of the country. Smoke is seen in Khartoum on Wednesday as fighting continues between the military and its rival paramilitary group, RSF. Huddled in their homes, residents struggled with power cuts and worried how long food supplies would last.
Burhan heads a ruling council installed after the 2021 military coup and the 2019 ouster of veteran leader Omar al Bashir, while Hemetti, who analysts say may command more than 100,000 fighters, was his deputy on the council.

Sudanese army, rival forces agree to 24-hour cease-fireArabic-language media are saying that the Sudanese army has agreed to a 24-hour cease-fire, starting on Tuesday evening, hours after rival forces said they would also abide by a truce. Satellite channels Al-Arabiya and Al-Jazeera had reports citing the top military officer Shams El Din Kabbashi as saying that the military would comply with the cease-fire. The fighting since Saturday has plunged the country’s capital of Khartoum and other areas of Sudan into chaos. Millions of Sudanese in the capital and in other major cities have been hiding in their homes, caught in the crossfire as the two forces battle for control, with each general so far insisting he will crush the other.
