The Sudanese military announced that it had regained complete control of Khartoum, nearly two years after losing the capital to competing paramilitary forces, concluding a week-long offensive that resulted in the recapture of the presidential palace, the airport, and other key locations.
Army leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan declared on Wednesday that the capital had been “liberated” from the RSF while inside the recently recovered presidential palace.
Following a series of defeats over the past eighteen months, the military launched a counteroffensive that gradually advanced toward the capital through central Sudan.
Witnesses and activists reported that RSF fighters began retreating across Khartoum after the army stormed the presidential palace last week.
An army source said on Wednesday that RSF personnel were escaping across the Jebel Awliya bridge, the last exit route from the greater Khartoum region. However, the RSF claimed they would not retreat or surrender, claiming their forces had merely repositioned.
Just hours after Burhan reentered the presidential palace for the first time in two years, the RSF announced a “military alliance” with a rebel faction controlling significant portions of South Kordofan and parts of Blue Nile near the border with Ethiopia.
