KHARTOUM (Reuters) -Sudan's army warned on Thursday of a risk of confrontation after mobilisations by a powerful paramilitary group, underlining growing strains between the rival forces and a potential complication in moves to restore civilian rule.

It could spell prolonged strife across a vast country already dealing with economic breakdown and flare-ups of tribal violence.
