Street battles are being fought by Sudan’s rival forces in the capital, Khartoum, in an escalation of violence despite calls for a ceasefire to mark the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) said they had agreed to a three-day truce and several hours later the army did the same.
But bombing, shelling and gunfire continue.
At least 400 people have been killed in a week of fighting.
It is the result of a bitter power struggle between two factions of the Sudanese military leadership over how the country should be run.
