Fighting has escalated in the Sudanese capital Khartoum following the end of a three-day ceasefire, with witnesses reporting heavy clashes between rival military factions in several areas.
Shortly before the truce ended at 6am local time on Wednesday, fighting was reported in all three of the cities that make up the wider capital around the confluence of the Nile: Khartoum, Bahri and Omdurman.
