Sudan's military said it recaptured the country's presidential palace from the rival Rapid Support Forces, or RSF. While this marks a major symbolic victory for the military, it does not necessarily mean the country's two-year civil war is close to an end.

Sudan's military has reportedly retaken the Republican Palace in Khartoum after almost 2 years of fighting, marking a symbolic victory for its military against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

Two years into a civil war, troops recaptured the palace in Khartoum, routing a paramilitary foe. Civilians have been trapped in the middle in a city with an apocalyptic air.

Sudan, which has been in the grip of a two-year-old war between the army and a paramilitary group, has a history of civil wars, military takeovers and rebellions.
