Britons in Sudan have been urged to remain indoors as the country has woken up to fierce clashes between the military and the country’s powerful paramilitary.
A statement read: "We are closely monitoring the situation in Khartoum and other parts of Sudan where there are ongoing military clashes."
In Khartoum, the sound of heavy firing could be heard in a number of areas, including the city centre and the neighbourhood of Bahri, as clashes erupted early today between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
