On April 15, 2023, there was fighting in Khartoum, Sudan between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The RSF claimed that they had taken control of state TV and other strategic facilities during the fighting. However, the army denied these claims.
On Sunday, state television transmission was cut, which employees said was an attempt to prevent propaganda from being broadcasted by the RSF. The RSF had entered the main state broadcaster building in Omdurman and used radio networks to broadcast programming that favored them. State radio was also cut.
Reporters in Khartoum and other cities outside of Sudan said that transmission on the main state TV channel went blank after hours of repeated recorded material. This story was obtained from social media through Instagram @lostshmi/via Reuters.
