Sudanese Military Retakes Khartoum, Pushing RSF to Outlying Regions

The army's recapture of the capital marks a major milestone in the two-year civil war, but the RSF maintains control in Darfur and Omdurman as the humanitarian crisis deepens.

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) announced the recapture of Khartoum, including key sites such as the airport and presidential palace, marking a significant victory in the conflict.
The RSF has retreated to Omdurman and Darfur, maintaining control over significant areas and continuing to resist SAF advances in these regions.
The two-year civil war has caused over 150,000 deaths, displaced more than 12 million people, and left half of Sudan's population facing acute hunger, according to the United Nations.
War crimes, including genocide and sexual violence, have been reported, with the RSF accused of widespread atrocities, while both sides have faced international condemnation.
Despite the SAF's gains, the conflict shows no signs of resolution, with ongoing shelling reported in Omdurman and the RSF consolidating its hold in Darfur.
