And the official Rapid Support Forces Facebook page posted a video it said was of members of the armed forces trapped in the area east of the Republican Palace in the capital.
On the other hand, the Sudanese army announced on Sunday that the “operational situation is stable” in all the cities of the country, which has been experiencing an armed conflict for 3 weeks between it and the Rapid Support Forces.
Despite this, the army referred to “some skirmishes with the rebel militia (referring to the Rapid Support Forces), which are spread in parts of the three capital cities (Khartoum, Omdurman and Khartoum North)”.
The army announced the arrest of several militants from the support forces and the flight of another group to the west of the country in 40 vehicles.
Jeddah talks
These developments coincide with the Saudi city of Jeddah hosting representatives from both sides of the conflict, to discuss ways to end the crisis.
The Jeddah talks are part of a Saudi-American initiative, which is the first serious attempt to end the fighting between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, which has transformed parts of the capital, Khartoum , in war zones, and caused hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands of people to flee.
As mediators seek to find a path to peace, both sides in the conflict have made it clear that they will only discuss a humanitarian truce and not an end to the war.
On Sunday, the United Nations High Commissioner for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths, arrived in Jeddah for talks with both sides.
Since April 15, fighting in Sudan between the army and the Rapid Support Forces has left hundreds dead and tens of thousands displaced.
