Sudanese Army Base Battle Intensifies in Khartoum

Clashes between the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese army continue for a third day over an army base in Khartoum, as both sides vie for control in the ongoing four-month war. The RSF claimed to have entered the base and captured tanks, but the army managed to drive them out. If the army loses the base, it would be their last stronghold in the capital. Displacement and civilian deaths have been reported, with battles also taking place in other regions of Sudan. The United Nations reports that at least 60 people have been killed and 50,000 displaced between August 11 and 17, while Save the Children states that 500 children have died from hunger since April.
