Sudan’s army has launched a major offensive in Khartoum to regain ground held by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), with air strikes and fighting reported in the capital. The army has taken control of three main bridges, including one connecting Omdurman with Khartoum. The assault, planned for months, aims to minimize the RSF’s presence in the capital. The civil war that began in April 2023 has caused a humanitarian crisis, with diplomatic efforts failing. The army’s tactics depend on artillery and air strikes, while the RSF’s ground forces remain effective. The situation is ongoing, with heavy fighting still reported. Diplomatic efforts have not been successful, and the army is determined to weaken the RSF’s capabilities. More updates on this developing story to come.
