Khartoum, Sudan The Sudanese military announced today that it has retaken the Republican Palace in Khartoum, the nation's capital. The palace, which houses the government's offices, has been a key battleground in the ongoing conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
According to military officials, government troops successfully pushed back RSF fighters and secured the palace grounds. The fighting for control of the palace has been intense, with both sides suffering casualties. The recapture of the palace is a significant, albeit symbolic, victory for the military, which has been battling the RSF for control of the country since April 2023.
The conflict in Sudan has resulted in a severe humanitarian crisis, displacing millions and creating shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. International organizations have called for an immediate ceasefire and a return to negotiations to resolve the political crisis.
