3. Widespread clashes, often serious, also continue across the leading suburbs of Khartoum, such as Amarat, Riyadh, Garden City, Khartoum 2 & Khartoum North, amongst others.
4. The RSF are now present in the aforementioned suburbs of KRT & elsewhere and are desperate with little in the way of resupply & logistics.
