The power struggle between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has escalated into deadly violence, with battles taking place throughout the country, including air strikes, artillery, heavy gunfire, and increasing lawlessness.
