SUDAN’S military said yesterday that it has retaken the Republican Palace in Khartoum, the last heavily guarded bastion of rival paramilitary forces in the capital, after nearly two years of fighting.
The seizure of the Republican Palace, surrounded by government ministries, represents a major symbolic victory for Sudan’s military against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
However, it’s unlikely to be the end of the war as the RSF holds territory in Sudan’s western Darfur region and elsewhere.
