People were able to move around Khartoum for the first few hours of this morning, but heavy gunfire broke out in two areas of the city later in the day.
Journalist Mohammed Alamin, viewing things from atop a tall building, told BBC Focus on Africa radio, that the fighting was in Omdurman (Khartoum’s twin city) to the west and Bahri to the north.
A resident of the city told the programme that water had been restored in some areas and that the internet was also partially working.
But even though the banking system had come back online – allowing some to go out and buy things or leave the city – many were still too scared to leave their homes, he said.
