Sudan’s state television suspended its program this afternoon, an action workers said was aimed at preventing the spread of propaganda by paramilitaries fighting the army for control of the capital.

Late this afternoon, the military appeared to have regained the upper hand in the capital Khartoum.

State media workers, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said authorities cut the signal after RSF entered the TV building in Omdurman, across the Nile from Khartoum, and used the radio’s network. to broadcast a program in their favor.

Reuters correspondents in Khartoum and other cities said the broadcast was interrupted on Sunday, while earlier the television had continuously broadcast the same, taped footage. State radio also went silent.

From Nairobi, it was learned that the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), a regional African organization, intends to send the presidents of Kenya, South Sudan and Djibouti to Sudan in an effort to reconcile the warring sides. This announcement was made by the office of Kenyan President William Ruto on Twitter.
