The United States Ambassador to Sudan, John Godfrey, said he was sheltering with his team amid “deeply disturbing” sounds of gunfire.
“Escalation of tensions within the military component to direct fighting is extremely dangerous. I urgently call on senior military leaders to stop the fighting,” he tweeted.
Columns of smoke have emanated from various places in the city and soldiers have been deployed on the streets.
