Sudan's conflict explained in 5 minutes: ‘Lawlessness on the streets of Khartoum’

Who are the paramilitary RSF and why are they in conflict with the Sudan army?

The unabated fighting has killed hundreds and tipped Africa's third-largest country - where around a quarter of people already relied on food aid - into a humanitarian disaster.

Instead of a ceasefire, the army has entered a new phase, fighting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on the ground, after having stuck largely to air strikes across the capital, with fiercer clashes in central Khartoum, since the power struggle erupted.
