Fighting between Sudanese military rivals starts its second day with dozens of deaths.

At least 56 people have been killed and nearly 600 injured in clashes between a aparamilitary group and the country’s army in Sudan, according to the Central Committee of Sudan Doctors. Sudan’s paramilitary chief Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo claims to have seized most of Khartoum’s official sites after clashes erupted between his armed group and the country’s military on Saturday. The country’s military leader, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, disputed Dagalo’s claims and said the military has maintained control over government sites. Dagalo and Burhan were pivotal in the 2019 overthrow of President Omar al-Bashir but have since become locked in a power struggle, with tensions over the Rapid Support Forces’ integration into the army. The US and UN have called for an end to the fighting, and the African Union urged the political and military parties to find a fair political solution to the crisis.
