A long-simmering dispute between Sudan’s army and a paramilitary group exploded into a full-blown civil war in April 2023. At least 150,000 people may have been killed since then, according to US estimates,

While the war is unlikely to end soon, here is a look at what the developments could mean. The war erupted in April 2023 between the military and the RSF with battles in Khartoum and around the country.

Sudan's army recaptured the presidential palace in Khartoum from the Rapid Support Forces on Friday, dealing a major blow to the paramilitaries who responded with drone attacks that killed a news crew and soldiers.

The Sudanese army seized full control of the presidential palace in downtown Khartoum on Friday, it said in a statement, in what would be a major gain in a two-year-old conflict with a rival armed group that has threatened to partition the country.
