More than 90 civilians have been killed so far in Sudan, where the military and its paramilitaries have clashed violently. The military took control of the government through a coup d'état in October.

Since then, talks have been underway including the reorganization of the military toward the transfer of civilian rule. Both sides have not wavered in their stance to continue fighting, and the situation remains tense. The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting behind closed doors on the situation in Sudan on the 17th.
