Deadly Clashes Erupt in Sudan as Army and Rival Forces Battle for Power

Sudan's military and paramilitary forces clashed in the capital and other areas, resulting in at least 56 deaths and 595 injuries. The conflict between the former allies, who jointly orchestrated the 2021 coup, was likely to continue. Diplomatic pressure appeared to be mounting, with top diplomats urging the sides to stop fighting. The recent tensions stem from disagreement over how the paramilitary group should be integrated into the armed forces. Pro-democracy activists have blamed the military and paramilitary for abuses against protesters over the past four years.
