Sudanese Army recaptures significant areas of Khartoum from RSF paramilitaries

The Sudanese army has reportedly reclaimed large parts of the capital, Khartoum, from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Residents in the city confirm that government troops have gained control over strategic locations that had been under RSF occupation since the conflict erupted.
The battle for Khartoum has been at the heart of Sudan’s brutal civil war, which began in April 2023 when tensions between the army and the RSF escalated into full-scale conflict. Since then, the RSF, led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, has entrenched itself in key districts of the capital, leading to prolonged urban warfare and devastating civilian casualties.
According to eyewitness reports, intense clashes over the past few weeks culminated in the army making sweeping advances, forcing RSF fighters to retreat from several neighborhoods. Residents say the army’s victory has brought a sense of relief, though fears of further fighting remain high.
Military analysts suggest that this could be a turning point in the war, as Khartoum has been a major stronghold for the RSF. However, with fighting still ongoing in other parts of the country, including Darfur and Omdurman, a definitive end to the conflict remains uncertain.
The humanitarian situation in Sudan continues to deteriorate, with millions displaced and food shortages worsening. Despite the army’s recent gains, international observers warn that a long-term solution requires more than military victories—urgent diplomatic efforts are needed to bring an end to the war and stabilize the country.
