After 23 months of war, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and its allies regained control of the presidential palace in central Khartoum, along with all the ministries and government buildings surrounding it in late March. As the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) troops withdrew from Khartoum city — a move the group called strategic — the SAF announced full control of Sudan’s tri-city capital. The recapture of Khartoum city marks a watershed moment in the conflict: The SAF has now gained the upper hand, particularly in central Sudan.
