Sudan: We’ve control of presidential palace in Khartoum – Army

The Sudanese army on Friday said it has seized full control of the presidential palace in downtown Khartoum in what would be a major gain in a two-year-old conflict with a rival armed group that has threatened to partition the country.

It was gathered that the army had long been on the back foot but has recently made gains and has retaken territory from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, RSF, in the centre of the country.

The RSF has reportedly consolidated control in the west, hardening battle lines and moving Sudan towards de facto partition.

The RSF is said to be setting up a parallel government in areas it controls, although that is not expected to secure widespread international recognition.

The RSF on Friday, a few hours after the army statement, said that it remained in the vicinity of the palace, and that it had launched an attack that had killed dozens of army soldiers inside.

The RSF rapidly seized the presidential palace in Khartoum, along with the rest of the city, after war broke out in April 2023 over the paramilitary's integration into the armed forces.

The army shared videos of soldiers cheering on the palace grounds, its glass windows shattered and walls pockmarked with bullet holes.
