Army spokesperson Nabil Abdallah said the military was “continuing to pressure” the Rapid Support Forces throughout the city centre, giving a list of buildings recaptured including the Central Bank, state intelligence headquarters and the Sudan National Museum.

Despite its advances in the capital, Africa's third largest country remains effectively split in two, with the army holding the east and north while the RSF controls nearly all of the western region of Darfur and parts of the south.

Activists at the weekend said doz- ens of civilians had been killed in a paramilitary attack in a remote part of North Darfur state, hundreds of kilometres from the capital.
