Gunfire can be heard in several parts of Khartoum and eyewitnesses say gunfire is also heard in adjoining cities.
KHARTOUM, SUDAN – Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces said on Saturday, April 15, that it had taken control of Khartoum international airport, as clashes erupted with the army.
A Reuters journalist saw cannon and armored vehicles deployed in streets, and heard the sound of heavy weapons fire in the vicinity of the headquarters of both the army and RSF. Hemedti had put himself at the forefront of a planned transition toward democracy, unsettling fellow military rulers and triggering a mobilization of troops in the capital Khartoum.
The RSF, which together with the army overthrew long-ruling autocrat Omar al-Bashir in 2019, began redeploying units in Khartoum and elsewhere amid talks last month on its integration into the military under a transition plan that would lead to new elections.
