Sudan has been in the grip of an open conflict between the regular army and the SFR militia since Saturday. In Khartoum, Sudan's capital, most residents remained locked in their homes.

In some neighborhoods, there is no electricity or water, and some Sudanese are angry. They feel like they are being held hostage by these two generals vying for power, says Dallia Abdelmoniem, a resident of a neighborhood adjacent to the airport. The mere fact of using fighter jets to bomb in the middle of the city shows that they don't care about civilians, she says.
