Sudanese Paramilitary Forces Gain Control Amid Growing Tensions.

Sudan's army and paramilitary force are engaged in heavy clashes in the capital Khartoum over a proposed transition to civilian rule. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) claims to have taken control of key sites, including airports, the army chief's residence, and the presidential palace. The army denies this and says its air force is attacking paramilitary bases. The conflict has left many caught in transit, with bridges and roads closed and schools in lockdown. The proposed move to a civilian-led government has foundered on the timetable to integrate the RSF into the national army.
