Sudan’s military and a powerful paramilitary force have engaged in fierce fighting in the capital and elsewhere in the country, dealing a new blow to hopes for a transition to democracy and raising fears of a wider conflict.
The fighting killed at least 27 people and wounded more than 170 others across the country, the Sudanese Doctors Union said in a statement late on Saturday.
Al Jazeera’s Hiba Morgan and Mohamed Vall have the latest.

Within 24hrs the Paramilitary leader met with some western leaders and coup occurred…, one not happy with relations with Russia
Sudan
Fighting breaking out in Eastern Europe and in North Africa with a possibility of escalation in Asian. World war what?
Sudan certainly is the world leader in coups. It seems like every other year new homicidal thugs with guns takes over the government through murder. The rest of the world has become jaded and this news is starting to fall on deaf ears.
Where is African union
Sudan is suspended from the African Union
لا خير في وطن تتواجد فيه امريكا والامارات العربيه بوجودهم يحل الدمار والخراب والقتل ونهب الثروات
RSF has funds and it’s coming from “the big uncle”
From sierra Leone 🇸🇱 we pray for peace in Sudan 🤲🙏
islam spreading in sudhan like Virus ….. End of another christian Nation …
Am tired of war in Africa, please God help us 😢🇪🇹
This is terrible! Anthony Blinken the U.S. Secretary of State visited Sudan and then a battle broke out there. Wherever that man goes, havoc follows.
Yet one more resource-driven war
But why would the Paragroupe even think of attacking the Army, I mean the Army controls air force and ground forces,this won’t end well for the country.
More America orchestrated war
The Virginia purple bombs.
ELECT OFFICIALS IN SUDAN THAT ARE HONEST & WITH INTEGRITY THAT WILL DO RIGHT BY THEIR PEOPLE.
Call America! 🤣🇺🇸
Allaha o Akbar
Hivi hawa wapuuzi wakubwa wanamkomoa nani eti! Stupid kabisa
God have mercy 🙏 on our brothers and sisters in Sudan
I pray God touch the hearts of these cruel generals so they realise that they are putting the lives of civilians in danger with these senseless fighting. I know whey won’t understand because their children and families are probably living large in Europe and America.
This is Islam real face
It’s not
USA stealing oil again
Nothing new to see here. And when they migrate to my country their warlike attitude is taken to our suburbs.
America are behind this militias. All this is connected to what Russia are planning to work with the Sudanese government to build a military base.
I see Mr. Blinken saying they are concerned .. Someone should tell him to stay clear… The African Union or the region should help to stop any escalation.
10 days ago UK recalled its citizens. This is a western backed coup because of a Russian base in Sudan. No secret the west is behind this. Lets not mince words.
US and Russia are using Sudan as a playground to assert their own dominance and strength.
So sad.This happened due to greed n those culprits who mad of gaining power n wealth whilst Sudanese civilians continuosly live in povertly n threat…
Proxy war between US and Russia, Please keeping piece for all brother in Sudan, we are moslem, one ummah
Who is supporting this RSF forces?
America is behind this…
When we fight america is happy as it wants to see africa poor n poorer.
Guys as africans lets unite n stop fighting each other.
America is behind this …
That country is so f****** rich yeah fighting for riches they will fight and seize this other part of the country just to get there on the s*** why you can’t get together
I cried for d innocent ones. Yaa Allah have mercy on Africa. Africa is really blessed but wicked self fish leaders.😭😭😭
This is all about the Eritrean Regime.Sudanese must learn from Ethiopia.The Eritrean dictator is the one who’s creating many conflicts in the entire Horn of Africa.Dictator Isaias Afewerki can’t survive without war.Why do you guys think the Eritrean regime involved in this war???Why do you think the Eritrean regime invited twice Hamety to Asmara,Eritrea???Sadly,I knew this was gonna happened since 2019.I mean look at Ethiopia and Ethiopians,Somalis,they faced such a horrible situation and now they have a little bit break until the Eritrean regime turns his second round of creating another war.
US interference doesn’t help at all but make it worse. It’s interference in Northern Ethiopia recently was the cause of 2 years war. Let Sudanese solve themselves with the support of the African Union
This is the hand of USA and Al Jazeera are happy to cover this. May you fall down.
Sudan people should resist superpower power projection in their land
What goes around comes around. The ousters on the verge of being ousted.
Start REVOLUTION.
Opps maybe it would stop if the UK pays millions of pounds again
Muslim countries always same problem
Shows Africa’s internal weakness.
May Sudan have peace.. my prayers .
South Africa, India.. Fk them up don’t kill your own ppl
Sending prayers from Kenya,so sad to see what is happening to our neighbours Sudan.
There is no instance of a nation in a prolonged war . Peace to Sudan from Ethiopia
Praying for Sudan 🇸🇩 from Ethiopia!
Readers keep fighting over power I petty Africa
Agin america ………
Can too leaders embrace peace ✌️
May Allah SWT bring sanity to Sudan. The innocent citizens deserve a decent living. Let both sides settle their difference
Who has fighter jets, military or armed forces?
When are the people of Africa going to finally learn not to deal with dictators, or Communists? They complain about western countries from 100 years ago, at least then, they were starting to develop. Now, with Russian, and Chinese influence, they’re all going backwards, and they’re not going to see any benefits. Only Russia, and China will see the benefit.
When will Africa ever be free from these wars?
God bless Africa and bring a quick solution to the country of Sudan.
Our prayers are with you brothers and sisters from Sudan.
Nothing Is more procious than peace.Let’s pray for Sudan🙏
i am pray for God Sudanese people i am so sad 😭

Rapid support forces who blinken met a few days ago ! 😂 anywhere us noses are you know it’s going to be trouble !
Wooow nice I want to see how America and Russia will handle this situation
All my prayers for complete peace in Sudan and in the world .
Please recite Surah Nuh for the people of Sudan.
May Allah keep them safe .
Ameen.
All the nice comments about sudan cheers me up cause all my cousins are dying there
When will this nonsense stop in Africa?
which non-Sudanese international weapons and ammo manufacturers are supplying both sides ?? which Oil and Gas Corporations in Iran are supplying the fuels to the warring factions in Sudan ?? when Israel merchant of jesuit papal Babylon attacks Iran, will they miss the international Oil and Gas Corporations and Iranian elites extraction fields???
When the army are pay for someone else just to be controlled them.
The day of watching real News was long time gone. Today we are forced to believe what we are told what they want us to buy. Everything is scripted no matter which channel you tune into.
What did the US and Egypt do when the two generals joined hands to remove Abdullah Hamdok’s transitional government? Nothing!
Russia may be behind the event
Usa is causing this…aljazzera..is afraid..to say
Paramilitary? where did they get their power?
I am in Ethiopia by migration since 1999
But am Sudanese by birth
am so sorry for country facing severe humanitarian crisis
Only Almighty God is the solution above all
Am hoping in God Jesus the Almighty to stop the crisis happening in my country
🙏🏽
Please God have mercy on our beloved brothers and sisters from Sudan🙏,🇰🇪🇰🇪
Developed countries better not start opening the floodgates for Sudanese. Happy to send our peacekeeping force to help create a safe zone for civilians. But they are too violent
