On Friday, the Sudan Army restored the Republican Palace In khartoumThe last stronghold of the competing paramilitary forces in the capital, nearly two years after the fighting.
The seizure of the Republican Palace, surrounded by government ministries, was a great symbolic victory for the Sudan army against the semi -military support forces – although it is likely that it does not mean the end of the war as RSF carries lands in the West Darfur region of Sudanese and elsewhere.

Videos of social media showed the Sudanese soldiers inside the palace, while giving history on the twenty -first day From RamadanThe month of Muslim fasting, which corresponds to Friday. A Sudanese military officer wearing the captain of the captain issued the advertisement in the video and confirmed that the forces were inside the complex.

“Today the flag is raised, the palace returns and the journey continues until victory is complete,” he wrote.
Later, the curious population toured the palace. The walls stood by gun tours. The blood swab resulted in death bodies, covered with randomness with blankets.
The fall of the palace is a symbolic and strategic moment
The fall of the Republican Palace-which is a complex along the Nile River, which was the headquarters of the government before the outbreak of the war and was perpetuated on Sudanese banknotes and postage stamps-another gain for the battlefield of the Sudan Army, which has made fixed progress in recent months under the army commander Abdel-Fateh Berhan.
This also means that the rival RSF fighters, during the reign of General Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo, were mostly expelled from the capital, Khartoum. Intermittent shooting can be heard throughout the capital on Friday, although it was not clear whether it included the fighting or the celebration.
Dean. General Nabil Abdullah, a spokesman Sudanese armyIts forces said that the palace is held, the buildings surrounding the Arab and the Arab market to the south of the complex.
Khartoum International Airport has been kept, about 2.5 km (1.5 miles) southeast of the palace, by RSF since the beginning of the war in April 2023.
Suleiman Sandal, a politician associated with RSF, acknowledged that the army took the palace and described it as part of the “rise and land” of history.
RSF later issued a statement claiming that its forces “are still present in the area adjacent to the region, are fighting courageously.” According to the unmanned attack on the palace, it was launched by RSF forces and journalists with Sudanese government television.
Late on Thursday, RSF claimed that it had taken control of the Sudanese city of Malaya, a strategic desert city in North Darfur near the border with Chad and Libya. The Sudan Army admitted to fighting about its money, but it did not say it lost the city.
The money is located about 200 km (125 miles) north of the city of El Fasher, which is still kept by the Sudanese army despite the strikes that are approaching daily by besieging RSF.
The head of the United Nations Children's Agency said that Sudan's conflict has created the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. On Friday, UNICEF criticized the looting of food aid aimed at going to children with malnutrition at Al -Bashir Hospital on the outskirts of Khartoum.
“Commercial supplies and humanitarian aid has been banned for more than three months due to the ongoing conflict along the main roads,” UNICEF warned. “The result is a severe lack of food, medicine and other necessities, as thousands of civilians are trapped in active fighting.”
The war has killed more than 28,000 people, forced millions to flee their homes and left some families taking grass in a desperate attempt to survive while famine sweeps parts of the country. Other estimates indicate the number of deaths.
The Republican Palace has become the headquarters of power during the British colonialism of Sudan. It also witnessed some of the first independent flags of Sudan that originated in 1956. The complex was also the main office of the President of Sudan and senior officials.
The Sudanese army has always targeted the palace and its lands, bombing and shooting at the complex.
Sudan faced years of chaos and war
Sudan, a nation in northeastern Africa, was not unstable since the popular uprising was forced to remove the long authoritarian President Omar Al -Bashaer in 2019. Short -term transition to democracy came out when he led Bourhan and Dajalo a military coup in 2021.
RSF and the Sudan Army began fighting in 2023.
Since the beginning of the year, the Burhan forces have advanced, including Sudan's military militias and animals, against RSF. They recovered a main refinery north of Khartoum, and pushed RSF sites around Khartoum itself. The fighting led to an increase in civil losses.
Al -Bashaer faces charges in the International Criminal Court regarding a mass campaign in the early first decade of the twentieth century in the West Darfur region with the Janjaweed militia, the introduction of RSF. Law groups and United Nations accuse RSF and Arab militias allied to attack African ethnic groups again in this last war.
