Sudanese Military Recaptures Presidential Palace in Key Victory

The Sudanese Armed Forces have reclaimed the iconic Presidential Palace in Khartoum from the Rapid Support Forces, marking a symbolic milestone in the ongoing civil war.

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have retaken the Presidential Palace in Khartoum, a major symbolic and strategic victory after nearly two years of war with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The SAF's recent advances have pushed the RSF out of the capital, though the paramilitary group still controls significant territory in western Sudan, including Darfur.
The war, which began in April 2023 due to a power struggle following a failed transition to civilian rule, has caused over 28,000 deaths and displaced millions, creating one of the world's largest humanitarian crises.
Both the SAF and RSF have been accused of committing war crimes, with reports of atrocities including genocide, sexual violence, and looting from humanitarian organizations and the United Nations.
Despite the SAF's gains, the conflict remains far from resolved, with no peace talks in sight and a de facto partition of Sudan between SAF-controlled eastern and northern regions and RSF-held western territories.
