Fears of a destiny similar to neighbouring Arab countries under conflict loom over the head of 28-year-old Sundanese architect Hadeel Mohamed, who said she has not left her home since heavy fighting in the capital broke out four days ago.
The conflict between Sudan's military leader and his deputy on Sudan's ruling council broke out four days ago, derailing an internationally-backed plan for a transition to civilian democratic rule four years after the fall of Islamist autocrat Omar al-Bashir to a popular uprising and two years after a military coup.
Fighting raged again on Tuesday, hours after an internationally brokered truce was supposed to have come into effect, as forces loyal to duelling generals battled for key locations in the capital and accused each other of violating the cease-fire.
