Sudan's Truce Extension Fails to Halt Capital Clashes.

Despite a 72-hour truce extension, heavy explosions and gunfire continued to rock Sudan's capital, Khartoum, and its twin city of Omdurman on Friday. The power struggle between the country's two top generals has killed hundreds and turned the capital into a war zone. International mediators, including African and Arab nations, the U.N., and the U.S., are intensifying their pressure on the rival generals to enter talks on resolving the crisis. Tens of thousands of Sudanese have fled to safer areas, and foreign nations have evacuated thousands of their citizens by land, air, and sea.
