“The war in Sudan has returned to where it first ignited two years ago: in a battle for downtown Khartoum. After days of clashes, forces loyal to de facto president General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan retook the presidential palace on Friday from erstwhile allies in the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The army (SAF) has since gone on to seize other official buildings including the central bank — marking a potential turning point in the war. The recapture of the presidential palace caps several months in which momentum in Sudan’s civil war swung decisively in the SAF’s favour. If the army can consolidate control of Khartoum it would allow Gen Burhan to install a transitional government and attempt to gain wider international recognition.” (03/23/25)
