“It doesn't look like the situation is de-escalating. In fact, the army has put out a statement saying that it will not negotiate with the Rapid Support Forces until those forces are dismantled and the rebel troops are dealt with. We are continuing to see fighting in Khartoum near the vicinity of the presidential palace. We can hear shots being fired. We can hear heavy artillery being fired. It's not clear who is in control of the palace, and there are battles over the state television. The army says it is in control of its headquarters and also the Khartoum International Airport.”
