Overview

• Sudanese President Abdel Fattah al-Burhan announced the military's recapture of Khartoum, including the presidential palace and airport, marking a symbolic victory after nearly two years of conflict.
• The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have acknowledged losing key areas in Khartoum but remain entrenched in western regions, including Darfur, where they are reportedly forming a rival government.
• Recent airstrikes by the Sudanese Armed Forces in North Darfur reportedly targeted a market, killing dozens of civilians and highlighting ongoing violence.
• The civil war has displaced 12.9 million people and caused an estimated 60,000 to 150,000 deaths, creating what the UN describes as the world's largest humanitarian crisis.
• Allegations persist that the RSF receives external support from the UAE and Chad, though both nations deny involvement.
