The live blog is now closed, thank you for joining us. These were the updates on the Sudan unrest on Saturday, April 15:
- Heavy gunfire and blasts were reported in Sudan’s capital Khartoum following days of tension between the armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a powerful paramilitary group.
- Shooting and blasts took place in the vicinity of Sudan’s army headquarters, the defence ministry, and the airport in Khartoum.
- Loud explosions and gunfire were reported near a base held by the RSF in south Khartoum.
- Tensions stem from a disagreement over how RSF should be integrated into the military.
