Mapigano ya silaha za moto kati ya Jeshi na Kundi la Wanamgambo la Rapid Support Forces (RSF) yanaendelea kwa siku ya 3 mfululizo katika sehemu mbalimbali za Nchi lakini zaidi ni katika Mji Mkuu wa Khartoum.
Pande zote zinadai zinadhibiti maeneo muhimu kama vile Ikulu ya Rais. Jana Aprili 16, 2023, walisitishaji mapigano kwa muda ili kuruhusu waliojeruhiwa kuhamishwa, ingawa haikubainika ni kwa kiasi gani walishikilia msimamo huo.
Mapigano hayo yanalenga kugombea kuwa madarakani.
Sudan imekuwa ikiongozwa na majenerali tangu mapinduzi yaliyompindua rais wa muda mrefu wa kimabavu, Omar al-Bashir, mwaka 2019.

Sudan crisis: Further fierce fighting between army and RSF
Fierce clashes have been reported across Sudan as fighting between rival armed factions continues to spread.
Violence between the army and a paramilitary group called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continued overnight into its third day.
More than 50 people have been killed, and one estimate puts the number of injured at more than 1,000.
Both sides are claiming they control key sites in the capital, Khartoum, such as the presidential palace.
Earlier on Sunday, they held a temporary ceasefire to allow the wounded to be evacuated, although it was not clear how strictly they stuck to it.
The fighting is part of a vicious power struggle within the country's military leadership, which has escalated into violence between rival factions.
The two men at its centre disagree over how the country should transition to civilian rule. Sudan has been run by generals since a coup overthrew the long-standing authoritarian president, Omar al-Bashir, in 2019.
On Sunday and early Monday, the RSF claimed to occupy sites in the capital Khartoum and the adjoining city of Omdurman, as well as in the western region of Darfur and Merowe Airport in the north of the country.
But some accounts indicated that the army had regained control of the airport, with the military saying they were dealing with "small pockets of rebels".
The army has previously denied that the RSF had seized key sites in the capital, and witnesses in the country told Reuters news agency that the army appeared to be making gains after blasting RSF bases with air strikes
The fighting is between army units loyal to the de facto leader, Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the RSF, a notorious paramilitary force commanded by Sudan's deputy leader, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, better known as Hemedti.
The major sticking points are over the plans to incorporate the 100,000-strong RSF into the army, and over who would then lead the new force.
'We haven't slept for 24 hours'
Some of the fiercest fighting has been in Khartoum, where residents have spoken of fear and panic.
"We're scared, we haven't slept for 24 hours because of the noise and the house shaking," Huda, a Khartoum resident, told the Reuters news agency. "We're worried about running out of water and food, and medicine for my diabetic father."
Another Khartoum resident, Kholood Khair, told the BBC that residents could not be sure of safety anywhere. "All civilians have been urged to stay at home, but that has not kept everyone safe."
