There are fears that fighting could spread to other parts of Sudan, such as Gedaref.

Sudan's army chief has lambasted "negligent" commanders after a rival paramilitary group captured the strategic city of Wad Madani.

The army had been criticised for leaving the capital of Gezira state, without putting up a fight.

More than 300,000 people have fled Gezira, which had been seen as a safe haven in the eight-month civil war.

Four days after Wad Madani's fall, Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan addressed the matter publicly.

"We will hold every negligent commander accountable. Those who were responsible for this withdrawal will also be held accountable without leniency," he said.

Zimbabwe latest

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has urged patience and calm following the first elections since long-serving ruler Robert Mugabe was ousted from power.

The MDC Alliance says its presidential candidate, Nelson Chamisa, won Monday's election.

Correspondents stress that Wednesday's violence is confined to the centre of Harare - an opposition stronghold - while other parts of the country remain calm. Latest reports from the capital suggest the security forces are in control of the streets.

Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi said the army had been deployed in Harare to disperse a violent crowd and to restore "peace and tranquility".

He added: "The presence of the army is not to intimidate people but to ensure that law and order is maintained. They are there to assist the police."
