The European Union’s Ambassador in Sudan has been assaulted in his home in Khartoum.

This is on the back of Sudan experiencing another day of fighting between the army and a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Dozens of civilians have been killed and hundreds more have been injured.

The pitched battles across Sudan pitting government troops against the paramilitary outfit as the RSF, is continuing the threat of a wider civil war.

Scores of civilians have been killed and hundreds injured, according to a doctors’ union.

And on the streets of the city, civilians are describing scenes of chaos as they struggle to source even basic necessities such as water, or medicine.

The U.N. World Food Programme says it’s been forced to halt operations in several areas and three employees were killed.

RSF soldiers have destroyed the Sudanese army at the airport – who they call “mercenaries,” including its leaders.

Both sides say they’ve made gains against the other.

The RSF is a former militia that was due to merge with the army and whose leaders shared power ruling the country in a military council.

Both were due to release their power as the country transitioned toward a civilian democracy.

Friction over the integration brewed for months, but it’s not clear who shot first. The RSF says the army tried to seize full control in a plot.

The army accuses the RSF of mobilising its forces, illegally, and moving on strategic sites.
