Sudan Army Claims Victory Over RSF, Khartoum Now Rebel-Free

After a prolonged civil war, the Sudanese military declared Khartoum state free of rebels, following the recapture of the capital city. The fighting continues in Omdurman, and accusations of foreign intervention surface as the humanitarian situation worsens.

 

In a significant development in Sudan's ongoing civil war, the military reported that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been entirely expelled from Khartoum state. This announcement, made through Sudan's News Agency, follows the military's notable recapture of Khartoum city, including the presidential palace, marking a major victory in the two-year conflict.

Recent clashes erupted in Omdurman, a city within the capital region, as the military launched a "large-scale offensive" against the RSF, which has yet to respond to these claims. Historically a center of governance, Khartoum's political landscape has shifted drastically; military leaders are now operating from Port Sudan, significantly east of the capital, following rebel advances.

Port Sudan, once seen as a safe haven, is now embroiled in conflict after recent drone attacks blamed by the army on the RSF. Key infrastructure has been impacted, causing water shortages and increased blackouts in the region. Tensions have escalated globally as Sudan accuses the United Arab Emirates of supporting RSF activities, a claim the UAE vehemently denies.

The three-year conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and displaced millions, leading to one of the most dire humanitarian crises worldwide. Allegations of war crimes have been directed toward both the Sudanese military and the RSF, with both parties dismissing the charges. As the situation remains precarious, the international community watches closely, seeking resolutions to alleviate the unfolding humanitarian disaster in Sudan.
