Sudan’s military has consolidated its grip on Khartoum, retaking more key government buildings a day after it gained control of the capital's Republican Palace from a notorious paramilitary group.

Extraordinary scenes of jubilant soldiers waving flags at Khartoum's presidential palace have suggested this could be a turning point in Sudan's bitter two-year civil war. But RSF militia are fighting back and the future remains unpredictable.

Sudan’s army on Friday said that it had recaptured the Republican Palace in Khartoum from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, RSF. This comes after nearly two years of fighting between both sides.
