Sudan’s Army Advances Towards Presidential Palace Amid Ongoing Conflict

Sudan’s army is approaching the Presidential Palace controlled by the RSF, a key development in an ongoing conflict threatening national stability. Despite recent RSF advances, the army has regained lost territory, heightening tensions as humanitarian crises worsen across the country.

According to state television, Sudan’s army is nearing control of the Presidential Palace in Khartoum from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), marking a significant point in a two-year conflict that risks dividing the nation further. The RSF seized the palace and much of Khartoum at the start of the war in April 2023 but has experienced setbacks as the Sudanese Armed Forces regain ground along the River Nile.

The conflict between Sudan’s army and the RSF has escalated into what the U.N. describes as the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, prompting widespread famine and disease. With both factions determined to maintain their positions, the situation remains precarious, and allegations of war crimes persist on both sides, underscoring the urgent need for resolution and peace talks.
