Gunbattles, airstrikes and shelling shook Sudan’s embattled capital Monday in a third day of heavy fighting between the army and a powerful rival force for control of the country, as the weekend’s civilian death toll rose to 97. Rapid, sustained firing was heard near the military headquarters in central Khartoum, a key battle zone since fighting began, and white smoke rose from the area. Residents hunkering down in their homes reported power outages and incidents of looting. FRANCE 24’s Emerald Maxwell and Olivia Bizot tell us more.
