Clashes renewed between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces in the Jabra area, south of Khartoum.

Clashes continued at several points in Khartoum. With conflicting narratives between the two sides, ambiguity prevails regarding the scope of field control for both sides.

While the RSF spoke about its forces controlling strategic locations in the capital, including the headquarters of the General Command of the Armed Forces, the Republican Palace, and the radio and television headquarters in Omdurman, the army denied this and confirmed that it is sticking to all its headquarters, and that it is very close to the moment of decisiveness, indicating that it will bring reinforcements to Khartoum.

In other parts of the country, violent confrontations are taking place in the state of Darfur (west) and battles hit and run in the city of Marawi (north), which includes a military base and a civilian airport.

Meanwhile, the army commander, Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, and the commander of the Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hamedti), exchanged accusations and threats, and each confirmed that he would pursue the other.

Hamedti also called on the international community to intervene, accusing his opponent, Al-Burhan, of targeting civilians with warplanes.

For his part, the head of the United Nations Mission in Sudan, Volker Peretz, announced, on Monday evening, that more than 180 people were killed and 1,800 wounded, in the battles raging in Sudan for 3 days between the army and the Rapid Support Forces.

The Independent Central Committee of Sudan Doctors announced earlier Monday that at least 97 civilians were killed in these battles, 56 of whom were killed on Saturday and 41 on Sunday, noting that almost half of the dead were killed in the capital.

The United Nations warned that every further escalation in Sudan would have catastrophic repercussions.
