Sporadic clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continued Thursday, disrupting the relative calm in the capital Khartoum and raising the risk of a week-long internationally-brokered truce collapsing.
It is not clear whether either side has gained an advantage in a conflict that threatens to destabilize countries in the region.
Residents said that clashes broke out between the two rival armed groups on Wednesday in Khartoum and other cities.
The ceasefire was agreed on Saturday after talks in Jeddah mediated by Saudi Arabia and the United States.
Previous cease-fire declarations have failed to stop the fighting. In statements late on Wednesday, the army and the RSF accused each other of violating the agreement.
