Residents of Sudan’s capital say, parts of Khartoum is like a ghost town, a stark contrast to the joyful mood usually seen during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr.
Witnesses say gunfire continues in Khartoum.
It means a three-day truce called by the UN, US, and others has failed.
Diplomatic pressure is being stepped up to end the fighting – with several countries and international bodies calling for an immediate ceasefire and offering to mediate.
After a week of fighting between two factions of the country’s military leadership, at least 400 people have been killed.
