Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - PORT SUDAN — The Sudanese army says it has recaptured the presidential palace in the capital Khartoum from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) after almost two years of fighting.

Reclaiming the east African country's seat of power marks a major victory for the army, which has been making significant advances against the RSF in recent months.

But it is still a long way from ending the war entirely, with large parts of the country still under the RSF's control.

It is also unclear whether the battle for Khartoum is over: an RSF statement said its fighters were still in the area.

"Our valiant forces are still present in the vicinity of the area," read an RSF statement issued on the messaging service Telegram.

RSF said a drone strike it launched on the palace complex left numerous dead - including a team of journalists from Sudan's state TV station and two of the army's senior media liaison officers.

Bloody clashes are also expected to carry on as the army tries to corner remaining fighters, who occupy swathes of territory to the south of the palace.

They also control parts of the nearby airport.

However, the capture of the palace — which came after fierce battles in the center of the city — was marked with joyful posts by soldiers on social media. Posts showed jubilant soldiers cheering and kneeling to pray at the entrance.

Nabil Abdallah, the army spokesperson, said on state TV that the military had taken control of the palace and ministry buildings on Friday morning.

"Our forces completely destroyed the enemy's fighters and equipment, and seized large quantities of equipment and weapons," Abdallah added. — BBC
