Taking advantage of relative calm, many residents in Khartoum and the neighbouring city of Omdurman emerged from their homes to seek food and water, queueing at bakeries and grocery stores, after days of being trapped inside by the fighting between the army and the rapid support forces. Some inspected shops or homes that had been destroyed or looted. Gunfire and loud explosions could be heard in the city, though residents said clashes were in more limited pockets, mainly around the military’s headquarters and the Republican Palace in central Khartoum and around bases in Omdurman across the Nile River.

US financial authorities have seized California’s troubled First Republic Bank and sold it to JPMorgan Chase, hoping to bring to a close a two-month banking crisis that has spooked the financial system. First Republic became the third major financial institution in the United States to fail in two months.
