Sudanese Army Retakes Presidential Palace in Khartoum

The army's victory marks a pivotal moment in the war against the RSF, as fighting continues in Darfur and the humanitarian crisis deepens.

The Sudanese Army has recaptured the presidential palace in Khartoum from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) after nearly two years of paramilitary control.
This victory follows an intensified offensive by the army, which converged forces from the south to pressure RSF positions in the capital.
The conflict, which began in April 2023, has caused tens of thousands of deaths, displaced over 12 million people, and created extreme food insecurity, with 320,000 people facing famine.
In Darfur, the RSF is escalating attacks, targeting displaced persons' camps and attempting to seize El-Fasher, the last major city in the region not under their control.
The war has divided Sudan geographically, with the army controlling the north and east, while the RSF dominates the west and south, further complicating efforts to resolve the conflict.
