Sudan's military announced it has retaken the presidential palace in Khartoum, marking a significant gain in the ongoing conflict with rival paramilitary forces. The palace, a symbol of governance in Sudan, has faced destruction during nearly two years of fighting. The military's progress under General Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan adds to recent advances, although the rival Rapid Support Forces, led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, still control other territories. The United Nations has highlighted the humanitarian crisis resulting from the war, which has resulted in over 28,000 deaths and millions displaced.
The fall of the Republican Palace, a compound along the Nile River that was the seat of government before the war erupted, marks another battlefield gain for Sudan's military.
Sudan's information minister said the military had retaken the palace in a post on X, announcing 'Today the flag is raised, the palace is back and the journey continues until victory is complete.'
