Death toll rises in Sudan | SVT News

Some 60 civilians are reported to have been killed and 595 people injured during the fighting between the army and the paramilitary RSF in Sudan. The African Union’s Peace and Security Council has now called a crisis meeting on Sunday about the situation.

– There are urban battles and people are terrified, says SVT’s Africa correspondent Johan Ripås.

Heavy fighting between the country’s two rival military powers broke out on Saturday morning and both the presidential palace and the airport have been reported to have been taken over by the RSF.
