More shelling and gunfights in Khartoum as efforts to impose ceasefire before end of Muslim holiday fail
Sudan faces a weekend of intensified violence after last-minute efforts to impose a ceasefire before the end of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr on Friday night and bring a close to almost a week of fighting in the capital failed.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians have now spent almost a week trapped in their homes in Khartoum, with dwindling supplies of food, limited power and under constant bombardment.
