APA-Khartoum (Sudan) Fresh hostilities on Saturday and Suday have shattered what was left of a shaky three-day ceasefire between forces loyal to juna leader Abdel Fattal al-Burhan and his deputy turned foe Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.
The two rival generals are at the heart of an apparent power struggle.
Eyewitness accounts painted a grim picture of the fighting being ever more ferocius in the capital, Khartoum, from where people have been fleeing since the truce began amost a week ago.
There were hand to hand fighting on Sunday as Sudanese army regulars take on members of the Rapid Special Forces whose positions were also targeted with aerial bombardments, tank and heavy artillery fire.
An area adjacent to central Khartoum had wore the brunt of the latest fighting, leaving a long trail of charred armoured vehicles on roadsides.
The extended truce was supposed to have lasted for another 72 hours but fighting resumed shortly after both sides blamed each other of torpedoing the terms of the ceasefire.
The once vibrant city has once again been reduced to a ghost town as residents who did not take advantage of the truce to flee remain trapped in their homes with food and other basic essentials running out.
There are growing concern about targting oil installations near RSF positions in Khartoum.
Over 500 people have been killed since hostilities began more than two weeks ago although other sources put the number of dead much higher.
Countries such as the UK, UK, France, Germany and a number of African nations had used a lull in the fighting to evacuate tens of thousands of their citizens from Sudan.
