Sudan remains tense and volatile following a week of violence
Sudan's capital Khartoum resembled a ghost town yesterday, in stark contrast to the joyful mood usually seen during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. After a week of fighting between two factions of the country's military leadership at least 400 people have been killed. Witnesses say bombing, shelling and gunfire continue as a three-day truce called by the United Nations and others has failed to hold. We spoke to Pierre Roussow; a South African trapped in the fighting, he is currently in Khartoum.
We also spoke to Professor Anthoni van Nieuwkerk from the Thabo Mbeki African School of Public and International Affairs .
