Sounds of gunfire are still being heard in Sudan’s capital Khartoum despite mounting pressure for rival groups to cease the fighting.

A justice and democracy campaigner in Khartoum, Hala Y Alkarib, has told the media that she could still hear very loud artillery sounds around her.

“There is nowhere to go because it’s more dangerous to step out and there are no safe routes,” she said, adding that the situation in Khartoum is “extremely deteriorating”.

Both parties have claimed control of the army command as well as the main airport.
