"The UN was taken by surprise" by the conflict, Secretary-General Guterres said.

Sudan's regular army accuses rivaling RSF paramilitary of attacking the Turkish evacuation plane.

The warring groups in Sudan continued to engage in fierce clashes on Friday with heavy gunfire and explosions heard in the capital Khartoum and other cities despite the proclamation of a 72-hour ceasefire.

Sudan's ruling council has declared the paramilitary RSF faction as a rebellious group, ordering its dissolution.

Sudan's paramilitary commander has vowed to continue fighting until "all army bases are captured".

Sudan is still ruled by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the military leader who seized power in an October 2021 coup.
