The Sudanese army has announced it has regained full control of the Presidential Palace in downtown Khartoum, marking a significant turning point in the two-year conflict against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This symbolic victory signals a shift in momentum as the army pushes back against RSF forces that had established strongholds across the country.
A Major Symbolic Victory for the Sudanese Army
For months, the Sudanese army had been on the defensive, struggling to reclaim key territories from the RSF. However, recent counteroffensives have led to a resurgence, culminating in the recapture of the Presidential Palace. A video circulating on social media shows Sudanese army members inside the palace, underscoring their claim to power over the capital’s central government district.
RSF Strengthens Grip in Western Sudan
While the army has made significant gains in the central region, the RSF continues to fortify its control over western Sudan. Reports suggest that the RSF is setting up its own government structures in these areas, further deepening the country’s division. The ongoing battle for dominance between the two forces has fueled fears of a prolonged conflict and possible territorial partitioning.
The Humanitarian Crisis Worsens
As the conflict rages on, Sudan faces what is now considered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. Millions have been displaced, and food and medical supplies are critically low. International organizations are struggling to deliver aid amid the violence, exacerbating the suffering of civilians caught in the crossfire.
What’s Next for Sudan?
With the Presidential Palace back under military control, the army is expected to push further to reclaim additional strategic locations. However, the RSF’s entrenchment in western Sudan suggests that the battle for control is far from over. The international community continues to call for a ceasefire and diplomatic resolutions, but on the ground, the fight for Sudan’s future remains uncertain.
