The scenes of the tired soldiers in Khartoum have a great progress in an attack that the Sudan army is regaining land spaces in recent months.
The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) lost control of the capital early on the war and was fighting for two years to restore it from the semi -military rapid support forces (RSF).
Now they recovered the presidential palace and believe that they are on their way to restore the rest of the capital. But it is far from winning the war.
This complex, which includes the historical Republican Palace, is a symbol of power and sovereignty, and it is important for the government led by the military and its narration as legitimate rulers who fight a “terrorist militia”.
This is also a strategic victory.
After clearing the external areas of Greater Garm, the army took a lot from the city center, prompting RSF fighters from major sites such as government buildings and away from the army headquarters, according to an army spokesman.
This means that RSF has actually lost control of the capital, although its fighters are still present in Khartoum.
But it is not clear to the extent of the front lines move. RSF fighters are still scattered throughout the city center and are stationed in part of the airport. It also runs land to the south of the palace.
The bloody fighting is expected to continue as the army is trying the remaining RSF units. The paramilitary force has already shown that it could return to its weak situation, as it launched a drone in the palace that killed a number of Sudanese journalists and army officers.
The full army's victory in the capital can reset the direction of the war or the hardening of the regional division that divides the country between the opponents.
RSF, led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, controls most of the Darfur region in western Sudan, and parts of the south.
The army -backed government, led by the army commander, General Abdul -Fakhi, controls the two dead, east and northern Sudan.
The two men worked together, and they counted together, Before the power struggle between them exploded in the civil war In April 2023.
Full control of Khartoum, the army, can help complete its acquisition of central Sudan, as its lands have moved from RSF in recent months.
It may also create a momentum for SAF to challenge General Hemedti in his stronghold from Darfur, especially in the city of El Fasher, which was under the siege of RSF for about a year.
But many observers believe that there is a danger that Sudan will be drifting into an actual division, as the two warring parties and their supporters in their spheres of influence are established.
RSF is creating a parallel government in its controlled areas, as the Allied Groups gathered to sign a political charter and a constitution last month in Nairobi.
Its intention was to show that despite the setbacks of the battlefield, it remains a strong force – and that its desire to control the country is still not engraved.

The people of Sudan carried the burden of this brutal civil war, which caused huge death, destruction, and human rights violations against civilians.
The United Nations described the situation in the country as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. More than 12 million people were forced to flee their homes and face millions of food shortages, as parts of the country were paid to starvation.
Khartoum is one of the places expected to reach the conditions of starvation soon, as it has been looting on a large scale of RSF soldiers and restrictions on assistance by the Sudanese government. Therefore, a change in the city's strength can make a big difference in human circumstances there.
But for most of Sudan's population, this means that it is likely to change a lot at the present time.
Both sides were accused of obstructing emergency aid, in fact by using a war weapon, according to United Nations officials. Both were accused of war crimes, although critics have been assigned RSF for collective rape and genocide.
The army hopes to prove the restoration of the presidential palace as a launching position to achieve a wider final military victory.
But although SAF has a momentum, it is unlikely that either party will win a victory that allows them to rule the entire Sudan.
However, both sides have pledged to continue fighting for the rest of the country, and efforts to revive peace talks have failed so far.
