Sudanese Military Reclaims Presidential Palace in Khartoum

The Sudanese Armed Forces' symbolic victory does not end the war, as the Rapid Support Forces retain control over western regions like Darfur.

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have retaken the Presidential Palace in Khartoum, marking a symbolic milestone in the ongoing conflict with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Despite losing the palace, the RSF continues to hold significant territory in western Sudan, including most of Darfur, and has not acknowledged the loss.
The war, which began in April 2023 as a power struggle between the SAF and RSF, has killed over 28,000 people and displaced millions, exacerbating a severe humanitarian crisis.
Both sides have been accused of war crimes and atrocities, with the RSF facing allegations of genocide and the SAF accused of blocking humanitarian aid.
The recapture of the palace highlights the growing de facto partition of Sudan, with no peace talks in sight and both factions vowing to continue fighting.
