Sudan's Military Recaptures Presidential Palace in Khartoum

The army's victory expels RSF forces from the capital but entrenches territorial divisions, prolonging the devastating two-year war.

The Sudanese Armed Forces have retaken the Presidential Palace in Khartoum, marking a major victory in the ongoing conflict with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The RSF has been expelled from the capital but retains control over western Sudan, including Darfur, where it has established a parallel government.
The war, which began in April 2023 as a power struggle, has caused over 28,000 deaths, displaced millions, and created the world's largest humanitarian crisis, according to the UN.
Both sides face allegations of war crimes, with the RSF accused of genocide and the military accused of misconduct, exacerbating civilian suffering.
Despite the military's advances, no peace talks have materialized, and both factions remain committed to prolonged fighting, deepening Sudan's fragmentation.
