Coup d’etat Khartoum Sudan: Rebels capture Int’l Airport & Presidential Palace


Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said they had taken control of the presidential palace, the residence of the army chief and Khartoum international airport on Saturday as clashes erupted with the army in an escalating power struggle.


Fighting broke out between the Sudanese army and the country’s main paramilitary group, which has gained control of Khartoum airport.

Gun shots and tank canons could be heard ringing out in the city after talks between Sudan’s army and civilian politicians to discuss a potential power-sharing plan broke down.

The international airport in Khartoum was under the control of paramilitary forces and a statement from the main paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces, said it had also taken an airport in Meroe, approximately 200 kilometers (124 miles) northeast of Khartoum.
