Sudan’s army retakes Khartoum airport from paramilitary RSF | Conflict News


BREAKING,

Last week, the armed forces recaptured the presidential palace in a key victory.

Sudan’s army has recaptured Khartoum airport from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), “fully securing it”, according to a military source.

Soldiers also encircled areas surrounding the airport in the Sudanese capital on Wednesday, another key development in a two-year-old conflict between the armed forces and rival RSF.

“These are quite significant gains by the Sudanese armed forces just in the last few hours,” said Al Jazeera’s Hiba Morgan, reporting from Khartoum.

The military, at war with the RSF since April 2023, launched this week a campaign to push the paramilitary forces out of central Khartoum, after recapturing the presidential palace in a key victory on Friday.
