Attack on Omdurman and Khartoum

Clashes continue in the Sudanese capital Khartoum, despite the announced ceasefire, which is due to end tonight.

Al Jazeera, meanwhile, reported that a new party is intervening in the conflict in Sudan - the central reserve police.

The Sudanese army and rival forces they have been battling since the weekend, agreed Tuesday to a temporary, 24-hour cease-fire, Arab media reports said.
