Overview

  • The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have retaken key sites in Khartoum, including the presidential palace and airport, after a major offensive.
  • RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Daglo confirmed his forces' withdrawal from Khartoum but vowed to return and intensify their fight against the army.
  • The RSF has repositioned to Omdurman and continues to hold significant territories in Darfur and southern Sudan.
  • The conflict, rooted in a failed transition to civilian rule, has displaced over 12 million people and caused famine conditions in parts of the country.
  • International diplomatic efforts, including U.S. engagement, have yet to yield progress, as both sides remain entrenched and refuse to negotiate.
