Sudanese Military Reclaims Khartoum as South Sudan Faces Renewed Conflict

The recapture of Sudan's capital marks a symbolic victory, while escalating tensions in South Sudan risk plunging the region into further instability.

Sudan's military has announced the recapture of Khartoum, with RSF forces losing control of key sites, including the presidential palace and airport.
The RSF retains control of significant territories in western Sudan and has declared a 'government of peace and unity,' raising concerns of national fragmentation.
The conflict in Sudan has caused one of the world's largest humanitarian crises, with 12.9 million displaced and widespread famine threatening millions.
In South Sudan, the arrest of Vice President Riek Machar has heightened tensions with President Salva Kiir, threatening the fragile 2018 peace agreement.
The UN warns of a potential return to civil war in South Sudan, with escalating violence displacing 50,000 people since February and regional stability at risk.
