There has been violence throughout Sudan, not only in the capital. There have also been clashes between the Sudanese army and the RSF paramilitary group in other towns and cities.

Fighting in the north-eastern city of Port Sudan, however, appears to have ended.

Othman Abu Bakr, an engineer and resident of the city, has told the BBC that "life was normal in the city" on Saturday until around 22:00 (20:00 GMT), when he heard clashes had erupted in some areas.

He and his family gathered in one room as fighting broke out at around 02:00.

"At around 06:30, I woke up to the sound of fighter jets hovering above my neighbourhood.

"Seeing the planes in the sky, the RSF started targeting them with anti-aircraft missiles. The land was shaking... literally.

"Again my whole family gathered in one room. We were really scared. But at around 8.30 this morning we could no longer hear [sounds] of fighting and it seemed the army had managed to gain control of the RSF’s two bases in the city. It seemed they eventually surrendered. There were no reports of casualties.
