The fighting in Sudan between its army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has largely continued despite a ceasefire.

So far, the crisis has forced more than 20,000 people to flee to neighbouring Chad.

Analysts warn the unrest could pose a serious threat to the stability of Chad and the region as a whole.
