Sudan's army seizes presidential palace in blow to RSF: What we know
Sudan’s army has taken the presidential palace Khartoum, in RSF hands since the war broke out almost two years ago.
Sudan’s army captured the presidential palace in Khartoum on Friday, a first since the war against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces broke out nearly two years ago.
“In a historic and heroic victory, our forces today completed their successes in Khartoum, crushing the remnants of the Dagalo terrorist militia [referring to RSF commander Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo] in central Khartoum, the Arab Market, the presidential palace buildings, a symbol of the sovereignty and dignity of the Sudanese nation and ministry buildings,” Sudanese Armed Forces spokesperson Brig. Gen. Nabil Abdallah announced in a video statement.
He added that the army “completely destroyed the enemy’s personnel and equipment and seized large quantities of their weapons” in those areas.
Abdallah stressed the military’s commitment to continue fighting “until victory is achieved by clearing every inch of our land from the militia and its supporters.”
