Clouds of smoke rise
Our correspondent added that columns of smoke are rising in the northern part of Khartoum after violent clashes between the army and the Rapid Support Forces.
Join Forces with Army Support
In the meantime, the Border Force Rapid Support Forces group announced it was joining the Sudanese Army Forces in response to a call from Army Commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who called for a containment of any Rapid Support Forces wishing to join the Sudanese Army Forces.
The statement of the press secretary of the Armed Forces, published today, Friday, says: “In response to the decision of the Commander-in-Chief, a group of border troops that are part of the Rapid Support Forces, consisting of 238 people, with all combat equipment, joined the Armed Forces through the Sixteenth Infantry division – Nyala.
Fourth month struggle
Significantly, Sudan slipped into fighting between the army and the Rapid Support Forces on April 15, and the parties reached several ceasefires brokered by Saudi Arabia and the United States.
However, talks in Jeddah were suspended last month after the two sides in the conflict accused each other of violating the truce.
To date, the conflict has killed at least 3,000 people and displaced more than 3 million people.
