Overview
- Prime Minister Kamil Idris announced the move after nearly three years of operating from Port Sudan, following a phased return that began when the army retook the capital last March.
- The administration pledged to restore electricity, water and sanitation and to rebuild hospitals and schools, with the UN estimating about $350 million is needed to repair essential infrastructure.
- Battles continue elsewhere, with the army claiming strikes that destroyed about 240 RSF vehicles and killed hundreds of fighters, a statement that could not be independently verified.
- Khartoum has been relatively calm in recent months, though RSF drone attacks have targeted infrastructure in the capital.
- The UN described el-Fasher as a crime scene after an RSF takeover, and more than 100,000 residents fled the city following reported mass atrocities.
