Fighting breaks out between army and paramilitary unit in Sudan

Colombo (News 1st) - 

After several days of conflict between a notorious paramilitary group and the army, gunfire and explosions have been heard in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan.

A proposed shift to civilian government is the topic of contention.

Gunfire has been heard close to the army headquarters in the city's center, according to foreign media. 

The airport and presidential palace are now under its control, stated the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). However these assertions have not been confirmed.
