To me this is really just another Closed Door negotiations with no civilian actor, " Professor Elamin added, saying that she still has family who are stuck in Khartoum surrounded by conflict.
The Bbc has heard several accounts of people trapped in Khartoum, who have been witness to loud explosions, gunshots and all-out violence.
