Tensions rise in Sudan as military and paramilitary forces clash.

Sudan's military has warned of potential clashes with the powerful paramilitary force, Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has deployed troops in Khartoum and other cities without the approval or coordination of the armed forces' leadership. The latest tensions stem from a disagreement over how the RSF should be integrated into the military, a key condition of an unsigned transition deal for Sudan. The RSF said its presence in northern Sudan and elsewhere is aimed at achieving security and stability and fighting human trafficking and illegal migration. The escalation has raised concerns of new fighting in a country known for internal armed conflicts.
