Sudanese Army Regains Control of Khartoum, RSF Plans Strong Return

The Sudanese army has regained control of significant areas in Khartoum, including the presidential palace, marking a major strategic victory against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo acknowledged his group's withdrawal from the capital but framed it as a tactical repositioning, vowing to return stronger. The conflict, which has now entered its second year, has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and displaced over 15 million people, with dire humanitarian conditions worsening across the country. Despite the army's recent gains, Dagalo's commitment to resume fighting indicates the struggle is far from over. The humanitarian crisis is exacerbated by famine warnings affecting multiple states, including the capital, highlighting the urgent need for international assistance. Analysts suggest that this shift in military dynamics could provide an opportunity for diplomatic efforts to seek a ceasefire amidst ongoing violence.
