"Listeners told Radio Dabanga that the neighbourhoods in old Omdurman and many parts of southern Khartoum “have almost become devoid of residents”.

A resident from the densely populated El Kalaklat neighbourhoods reported “a large exodus” from the areas adjacent to the El Shajara military area towards El Kalaklat and further south, to Jebel Aulia. “Many are heading towards White Nile state to escape the hell of the battles.”

Many explosions were heard coming from the El Shajara area, with warplanes continuously flying over, he said, and added that an army convoy en route from Jebel Aulia towards to El Shajara, clashed with an RSF force coming from the Teiba camp."
