In Sudan, fierce fighting has continues in capital Khartoum between the army and the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

Violence erupted two days earlier following weeks of power struggle between army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, also known as Hemedti, who heads the heavily-armed RSF.

Meanwhile, Egypt and Chad have closed their borders with Sudan.

On the otherside, there have been urgent demands for an end to the fighting from across the region and the globe, including the Arab League, European Union, African Union, US, Britain, China and Russia.

World Food Programme has announced suspending of its operations in the impoverished country after three of its workers were killed.
