00:00 We spoke to our regional correspondent Bastien Renul for the latest.
00:05 Fighting is still ongoing in Khartoum.
00:07 Local sources tell me that they can still hear gunfights, they can still hear loud explosions,
00:12 they can still see jet fighters in the sky bombing several parts of the city, probably
00:16 rapid support forces, buildings and bases.
00:20 But it's very difficult to understand exactly what is the situation in the capital city
00:25 since both the rapid support forces and the army are publishing different information,
00:30 giving different statements, saying contradictory information.
00:33 As an example, the rapid support forces said several times this weekend that they were
00:37 in full control of the presidential palace, an information that was denied by the army.
00:43 And earlier today they said that they managed to shoot one of the warplanes from the army,
00:48 but it's still impossible to confirm this information.
00:52 So this is for Khartoum and for the rest of the country, while the fighting is still ongoing
00:55 in many big cities such as Meroe or El Fashir and Nyala in Darfur region.
01:03 About the civilians, the latest statement by the doctors' committee says that at least
01:07 97 people were killed, 97 civilians were killed since Saturday morning and almost 1,000 people
01:16 have been injured in several parts of the country.
