Overview

  • The Sudanese army has reclaimed key sites in Khartoum, including the presidential palace and central bank headquarters, marking significant advances in the capital.
  • The RSF continues to consolidate control in Darfur, imposing new restrictions on humanitarian aid and attempting to establish a parallel government in the region.
  • Famine has been confirmed in three displacement camps near al-Fashir, where residents are resorting to eating leaves due to lack of food and aid.
  • Civilian casualties remain high, with recent RSF shelling killing at least five people at a mosque in eastern Khartoum and displacing thousands more.
  • Over 12 million people have been displaced by the ongoing conflict, with half of Sudan's population facing acute hunger as aid access remains severely restricted.
