The Sudanese army has seized full control of the Presidential Palace in Khartoum, marking a significant shift in the ongoing two-year conflict with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The Sudanese army has taken full control of the Presidential Palace in Khartoum, marking a significant development in the ongoing two-year conflict, according to Sudanese state TV and military sources. This military advance is one of the most notable yet, as the army carries out search operations around the palace to hunt down members of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Witnesses reported hearing intermittent gunfire in parts of central Khartoum, as the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF continues to ravage the country. The RSF, which had swiftly seized the palace and much of the capital when the war broke out in April 2023, has held on to strategic areas, including parts of Khartoum, Omdurman, and western Sudan, with heavy fighting continuing in Darfur.
The fighting has contributed to what the UN describes as the world's largest humanitarian crisis, with widespread famine, disease, and mass displacement. Both factions have been accused of war crimes, and the RSF faces charges of genocide, though both sides deny the allegations.
The capture of the presidential palace by the army signals a possible turning point in the conflict, potentially accelerating the army's push to control central Sudan and solidifying the territorial divide between the two forces. Despite ongoing violence, neither side has shown interest in peace talks, with both vowing to continue the fight for control of the entire country.
