Thousands continue to evacuate Sudan

Thousands are trying to get out of the Sudan amid a tenuous 72-hour ceasefire.

Thousands of Sudanese and foreign nationals are trying to get out of the country during a tenuous 72-hour ceasefire. Heavy clashes were reported in Khartoum, and across the Nile in Omdurman, and there are claims that the Rapid Support Forces have seized an oil refinery, 70 kilometres north of the capital. Several former government officials suspected of war crimes have been able to leave prison in Khartoum, including Ahmed Haroun, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court.

Also in the programme, detectives in Kenya continue search for graves following mass cult starvation.

And we hear from the Oromo Liberation Army, who meeting with the Ethiopian government to conduct peace talks.
