Khartoum Completely Under Government Forces: Sudan’s Sovereign Council

(3 Minutes Read)

According to multiple reports from Khartoum residents, the RSF fighters were replaced by the army across the city centre on Wednesday, marking a major milestone for the national army in the fight that has split the country since it began two years ago. 

Sudan’s Sovereign Council declared Khartoum free after expelling the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from the capital. The Sudanese army has, in recent weeks, extended its military operations, successfully recapturing the presidential palace and the most recently, retaking the airport in Khartoum from the RSF.

According to multiple reports from Khartoum residents, the RSF fighters were replaced by the army across the city centre on Wednesday, marking a major milestone for the national army in the fight that has split the country since it began two years ago.

The war broke out when the military and the RSF turned against each other in a power struggle.  Their battles around Khartoum left the RSF in control of the airport, the Presidential Palace and other neighbourhoods, as the fighting spread around the country.

Seizing the capital doesn’t end the conflict, as the RSF still controls parts of the western Darfur region and other areas. Earlier in the day, the military announced it had recaptured the RSF’s last major stronghold in Khartoum, the Teiba al-Hasnab camp. There was no immediate RSF comment.
