The Arab League will hold an emergency meeting on Sunday to discuss the latest developments in Sudan. The meeting will be held at the level of permanent representatives. Saudi Arabia and Egypt requested that the meeting be held, said Arab League Assistant Secretary General Hossam Zaki. Fighting in the Sudanese capital raged into the early hours of Sunday after a day of deadly battles between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the army that left at least 56 people dead and nearly 600 wounded. Explosions and gunfire rang out on the deserted streets of Khartoum, according to witnesses, after the RSF said they were in control of the presidential palace, Khartoum airport and other vital facilities. The clashes follow rising tensions over the RSF's integration into the military. The disagreement has delayed the signing of an internationally backed agreement with political parties on a transition to democracy.
