Sudan’s army announced on Friday that it had retaken the Republican Palace in Khartoum from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a significant development after nearly two years of fighting.
A Sudanese military officer wearing a captain’s epaulettes made the announcement in video shared on social media showed soldiers inside the partially ruined palace. The footage was timestamped with the 21st day of Ramadan — that is, Friday morning.
