The Sudanese army continues its advance to seize areas north of Khartoum amid fierce clashes with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Bahri that continued on Friday. An Anadolu correspondent reported intense fighting on multiple fronts, particularly as the army advanced into the region.

The United States on Tuesday night announced sanctions against Sudanese paramilitary leader Mohamed Hamdane Daglo, also known as Hemedti. Washington accuses the head of the Rapid Support Forces, of committing genocide in Sudan.

The US this week declared that members of one of the warring parties in Sudan's civil war - and its allied militias - have committed genocide in the African nation - which has seen tens of thousands of people killed in recent months and millions made homeless.
