They are trying to gain control of a key bridge across the Nile, linking Omdurman and Khartoum North, that the RSF uses. The sound of gunfire has become everyday background noise in the city, but the constant boom of the explosives, shaking people and the buildings, was a new, more frightening noise for many. During the day, smoke can be seen rising from buildings across the city. At night, the shells overhead light up the skies like malevolent shooting stars.

Residents of Omdurman, the twin city to Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, have had to live through massive aerial bombardments and heavy fighting over the past three days as the conflict between the army and a paramilitary force intensifies as it approaches its fifth month.
A call went out on social media on Tuesday to see if anyone knew any gravediggers.
News had spread that the bodies were mounting up as the bombs from above, as well as shrapnel and bullets from ground level, were hitting civilians.
It is hard to find individual plots for people as the fighting is blocking access to the main graveyards, so many of those who died were put in a mass grave.
A source at the only functioning hospital in Omdurman said that 33 civilians have been killed since Monday, when the conflict seemed to enter a new phase.
