The head of Sudan's army has told troops it will press to take more ground after its most significant advance in an 11-month-old war against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), as a charity warned of a rising risk of hunger-linked deaths.
Army forces, which witnesses say have been boosted by recent deployment of drones, took control on Tuesday of the radio and TV headquarters in Omdurman, across the River Nile from Khartoum and part of the wider capital.
