Witness cell phone footage recorded in Khartoum captures a casual group of people and Soldiers watching as a tank rolls into position and starts engaging an alleged RSF position.

Another cease-fire attempt was made today in Khartoum. It immediately failed.

Instead of that cease-fire working out, it actually made the fighting inside of the city more intense. To be frank, and this is me editorializing, I thought this would be sorted out by Monday. Instead, we're on Thursday and the fighting is getting worse and worse day-by-day.

There is a very real potential for Khartoum to turn into an Aleppo situation, especially if RSF forces start ditching uniforms to blend in with civilians, or start bolstering their numbers with extremists. I'm not saying that I know for sure either thing will or can happen, just stating that at this point I would not be surprised.

We'll continue to update you guys on the situation in Khartoum as it develops. It does not appear that this is going to be a week long series of gunfights that ends with a cease fire.
