For the first time, combat erupted throughout Khartoum and other locations in Sudan as two strong competing military factions engaged in battle. This increased the likelihood of a national civil war and engulfed the capital city in turmoil. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of Sudan claimed that a 72-hour ceasefire began at 0400 GMT on Friday, however Reuters reported that inhabitants of Khartoum and Bahri, a sister city, heard gunshots as Sudanese forces moved through the towns on foot.

The United Nation’s Security Council [UNSC] released a press release on the 15th of April, expressing deep concerns over the military clashes taking place in Sudan.
