Sudan’s military has retaken control of the presidential palace in Khartoum, marking a significant turning point in the civil war that has ravaged the nation for nearly two years. The army announced on Sunday that it had seized key government buildings including the central bank and the intelligence headquarters.

This major development comes after months of intense fighting between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The recapture of the presidential palace represents a symbolic and strategic victory for the Sudanese Armed Forces.

“Today marks a new chapter for Sudan,” said a military spokesperson. “We are committed to restoring stability and security across the entire nation.”

Analysts view this as a potential game-changer for the conflict that has devastated the country, displaced millions of civilians, and created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. The international community has called for a ceasefire and renewed peace talks.

The RSF has yet to respond to the army’s claims, but military sources indicate that fighting continues in several neighborhoods of the capital. Civilians remain caught in the crossfire despite hopes that this development could lead to a de-escalation.
