Heavy fighting erupts again
Heavy fighting erupted in the capital of Sudan's embattled Blue Nile state on Tuesday evening, a witness said, a day after the newly installed military governor declared that the security situation had returned to normal.
"One hour ago, I heard gunfire and artillery bombardments in different parts of the city. The shooting lasted about 15 or 20 minutes," a Sudanese journalist in Damazin told AFP, adding that the city's power supply had been cut.
Deadly clashes erupted after midnight last Friday in Damazin, and quickly spread to other areas, as the third major conflict since May unfolded in southern districts just across the border from newly independent South Sudan.
