DUBAI (Reuters) - Clashes broke out in several parts of Sudan's capital on Wednesday as a 72-hour ceasefire - which saw several reports of violations - between rival military factions expired, witnesses said.

Shortly before the truce ended at 6 a.m. (0400 GMT) fighting was reported in all three of the cities that make up the wider capital around the confluence of the Nile: Khartoum, Bahri and Omdurman.
