Overview

  • Sudan’s military has reclaimed the Republican Palace, National Intelligence Service headquarters, Central Bank, and other strategic sites in Khartoum from the RSF.
  • A drone attack on the Republican Palace, allegedly by the RSF, killed two journalists, a driver, and a military media officer.
  • The RSF continues to hold territory in Darfur and other areas, with analysts predicting the conflict may transition into an insurgency.
  • The war has caused over 28,000 deaths, displaced millions, and led to severe famine, with atrocities such as mass rape and ethnically motivated killings reported, particularly in Darfur.
  • The military is expected to target remaining RSF strongholds, including the Khartoum International Airport, as part of its campaign to consolidate control.
