The death toll from the ongoing clashes between Sudan’s armed forces and the leadership around Khartoum has risen, with reports confirming 56 fatalities. The figure was provided by the news agency Al Jazeera, reflecting the escalating violence in the capital and surrounding areas.
Across Khartoum, violence has intensified, and officials in the region have confirmed that the toll stands at 56 as clashes persist. The situation remains highly volatile, with neighborhoods in and around the city experiencing ongoing confrontations and disruptions to daily life.
According to Al Hadath, a television channel known for covering regional security issues, fighting continues between the regular army and the paramilitary forces in the capital city. The channel notes that front-line clashes have persisted in specific districts, complicating residents’ efforts to seek safety and essential services.
From morning until mid-day on a recent Saturday, the broader confrontation has shifted into a more pronounced phase, involving open combat between forces led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the Rapid Support Forces under Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti. The clashes have spilled beyond Khartoum proper into the metropolitan area and extend to other parts of the country, underscoring the national scope of the crisis and the deep divisions within Sudan’s security apparatus.
Earlier reports indicated that government forces had gained control of key facilities, including the Rapid Reaction Forces headquarters in Omdurman, signaling strategic moves on both sides as the conflict unfolds. The evolving dynamic raises concerns about civilian safety, access to essential services, and the potential for further disruption across major urban centers in Sudan.
