Overview

• The Sudanese Armed Forces announced complete control of Greater Khartoum, including Khartoum, Omdurman, and Khartoum North, after intense battles with the RSF.
• The RSF has retreated to its strongholds in Darfur, pledging to continue fighting and refusing to surrender despite setbacks in the capital region.
• The RSF has entered a military alliance with the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement–North, led by Abdelaziz al-Hilu, expanding its resistance network.
• The ongoing civil war, which began in April 2023, has displaced 13 million people, created famine conditions, and led to allegations of war crimes, particularly in Darfur.
• UNICEF reports that 825,000 children in North Darfur remain trapped without access to food, clean water, or humanitarian aid, exacerbating the region's humanitarian crisis.
