Overview

• Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan visited the military's headquarters in Khartoum after breaking a months-long RSF siege, marking a significant military victory in the ongoing conflict.
• Al-Burhan emphasized there would be no negotiations with the RSF, committing to a full military campaign to eliminate the group from Sudan.
• A deadly drone strike, reportedly carried out by the RSF, targeted the Saudi Hospital in El-Fasher, killing at least 70 people and further destabilizing the Darfur region's healthcare system.
• The conflict, ongoing since April 2023, has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths, displaced over 12 million people, and left 80% of healthcare facilities inoperable across Sudan.
• Both sides in the war face accusations of war crimes, with the RSF accused of genocide in Darfur and the army accused of targeting civilian infrastructure, including schools and hospitals.
