Since Saturday, there have been reports of intense airstrikes and artillery fire across Sudan’s capital. In the western Darfur region, witnesses say fighting killed at least a dozen civilians on Sunday. Witnesses say RSF fighters have joined Arab militias in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Darfur.
