Sudanese Army Reclaims Presidential Palace in Khartoum, Turning the Tide in Civil War


The Sudanese army has successfully recaptured the presidential palace in Khartoum from the rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), military leaders confirmed.

In footage shared on social media, soldiers are seen celebrating, waving their weapons in jubilation, and kneeling in prayer. The military’s control of the palace marks a significant turning point in the conflict, with the army poised to reclaim the capital after being ousted by the RSF nearly two years ago.

The RSF, which has yet to comment on the development, has held control of much of Khartoum and western Sudan since the onset of the civil war. However, the army’s recapture of the presidential palace and other key government buildings signals a potential shift in power.

Nabil Abdallah, the army spokesperson, addressed the nation on state TV, stating, “Our forces completely destroyed the enemy’s fighters and equipment, seizing large quantities of weapons and equipment. We will continue fighting until complete victory is achieved.”

The conflict, which erupted nearly two years ago in Khartoum, has seen some of the war’s fiercest battles. Reclaiming the capital would represent a significant victory for the Sudanese Armed Forces, especially after recent military successes in central Sudan.

Earlier this week, explosions from drone strikes and air raids were reported near the Republican Palace. RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, vowed to defend the presidential palace and surrounding areas. In a video message on Saturday, Hemedti threatened further attacks in several northern cities as part of his forces’ ongoing battle to maintain control.

Despite several failed peace efforts, both the RSF and the army have remained committed to fighting for control of strategic areas. The conflict has triggered what the UN describes as the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, with both sides accused of widespread human rights violations.
