Sudanese Army Reclaims Khartoum in Major Civil War Milestone

The SAF's capture of the capital marks a turning point in the two-year conflict, though the RSF retains control of Darfur and southern territories.

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have recaptured Khartoum, including the airport and presidential palace, forcing the RSF to retreat southward.
The RSF still controls large areas in Darfur and southern Sudan, where it is consolidating power and forming alliances with rebel groups.
The two-year conflict has displaced over 12 million people, with half of Sudan's population facing acute hunger in what the UN calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
Both factions have been accused of war crimes, with the RSF facing allegations of genocide against non-Arab populations in Darfur.
Despite the SAF's recent gains, the war remains unresolved, with no negotiations in sight and fears of Sudan's fragmentation continuing to grow.
