Summary
The Sudanese military has strengthened its position in Khartoum by retaking significant buildings, including the central bank and Republican Palace, from the RSF. Following a series of military victories, army spokesperson Brig. Gen. Nabil Abdullah reported the deaths of hundreds of RSF fighters during recent confrontations. Despite these gains, the RSF remains a powerful force, particularly in Darfur, and the conflict is projected to evolve into a longer insurgent struggle. The humanitarian cost of the war is severe, with over 28,000 reported fatalities and millions displaced amidst a looming famine.

The ongoing violence has led to a humanitarian crisis, with thousands dead and millions displaced, exacerbated by recent assaults such as drone attacks targeting journalists.
