The Sudanese army has declared full control over Khartoum state, successfully pushing out the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) after intense fighting that started in March. This victory is significant in the ongoing conflict and marks a turning point in the military’s efforts to regain stability in the capital and its surrounding areas.
Key Developments
- The military has secured strategic locations throughout Khartoum following weeks of heavy clashes.
- Civilians faced severe hardships, including shortages of food, water, and medical supplies due to the fighting.
- International organizations have voiced serious concerns regarding the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region.
Implications and Future Outlook
The Sudanese government aims to use its regained control to restore order and initiate peace talks. Despite this progress, the situation remains fragile, with reports indicating ongoing sporadic violence in some areas.
The removal of the RSF, a major force in Sudan’s power struggle, from Khartoum state is expected to significantly alter the balance of power. Current efforts are focused on:
- Ensuring security throughout the state.
- Rebuilding infrastructure damaged during the conflict.
Continued monitoring of developments will be crucial as Sudan navigates the fragile steps toward peace and recovery.
