Live recordings captured explosions in the heart of Khartoum during a conflict between the military and a paramilitary organization in Sudan.
Two explosive incidents were captured on live television in Khartoum, the capital city of Sudan, amidst days of violent clashes that resulted in the deaths of over 270 individuals due to conflict between the army and paramilitary forces. Al Arabiya news outlet shared a video showing the Sudanese Army's General Command headquarters surrounded by dense smoke caused by the powerful explosions.
Bloomberg reported that Khartoum was rocked by intense fighting and numerous airstrikes on Wednesday, following the failure of a proposed US-brokered ceasefire to hold. These attacks have created a fresh hurdle for regional leaders who are trying to negotiate a truce between the head of the army, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, who have been involved in days of clashes.
Their attempts to visit Khartoum this week to facilitate negotiations have been further complicated by the recent fighting and airstrikes. The situation in Sudan remains highly volatile and unstable, with many hoping for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict.
On Wednesday morning, residents of Khartoum reported that heavily populated areas such as the army headquarters, RSF offices, and Amarat were subjected to targeted attacks. As the situation in Sudan continues to escalate, several countries, including Japan, are making preparations to evacuate their citizens who are currently trapped in the country.
According to Reuters, the past few days have witnessed the most severe fighting in decades across Sudan's capital Khartoum, as well as in the sister cities of Omdurman and Bahri, which are situated on opposite sides of the White and Blue Niles.
The latest attempt to transition Sudan to a civilian democracy, which had received international support, has been disrupted by the ongoing battle that has rocked the country's capital. This comes four years after the downfall of former Islamist autocrat Omar al-Bashir, and two years after a military coup.
The conflict has caused widespread concern, with many fearing that it will undermine efforts to establish a stable government in Sudan. The situation remains highly volatile, and it is unclear how the ongoing clashes will impact the country's political and economic future. However, many are calling for an end to the violence and are urging all parties involved to engage in meaningful dialogue to resolve the crisis.
