The army restores the presidential palace in Khartoum from RSF

Military leaders said that the Sudanese army regained the presidential palace in Khartoum from the semi -military rapid support forces.

The video and photographs were posted on social media and verification by the BBC’s width of the inflicted soldiers waving their rifles, chanting, and kneeling to pray.

The army appears to be ready to regain control of the capital two years after its expulsion by its semi -military competitors, known as RSF.

The paramilitary group has not yet attached.

Nabil Abdullah, a spokesman for the army, said that the army had taken control of the minors and buildings in the center of Khartoum.

Abdullah added: “Our forces completely destroyed the enemy’s fighters and equipment, and seized large quantities of equipment and weapons.”

Khartoum is the place where the brutal civil war began in the country almost two years ago, and where it fought some of its biggest battles.

RSF has held most of the capital as well as western Sudan since the beginning of the war.

Khartoum will be a great victory for the Sudanese Armed Forces and a pivotal moment in the conflict. The army has also achieved gains in parts of central Sudan in recent weeks.

On Thursday, witnesses reported explosions from drones and air strikes near the Republican Palace.

In a video recording on Saturday, RSF Commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, pledged to defend the presidential palace and the surrounding areas under the control of his paramilitary group.

More attacks threatened in many northern cities.

Several peace efforts collapsed with the competing forces pledged to continue fighting to control strategic areas.

The war caused the largest humanitarian crisis in the world, according to the United Nations, accusing RSF and the army of widespread human rights violations.
