[QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 29846, member: 2262"] Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan returned to Khartoum after the army took control of the city's airport. Sudan's military leader visited the presidential palace, where soldiers cheered as he announced, "Khartoum is free." The army recaptured this important building on Friday, along with other government places that RSF fighters had taken over. A top army official told the BBC that they had completely secured the airport and might push out the rest of the RSF fighters by evening. The RSF has controlled most of Khartoum since the fighting started in April 2023. The war has killed hundreds of thousands of people and forced millions to leave their homes across Sudan. The army also grabbed Manshiya Bridge - the last one held by RSF - plus a military base in Jebel Awliya, which was a major RSF stronghold in southern Khartoum. Army leaders said they've taken back all bridges that connect the three cities making up Greater Khartoum. People living there report RSF fighters moving south toward Jebel Awliya - their last way out of the area. Videos on social media show some Khartoum residents celebrating as army troops moved in after what many called brutal RSF control. Those who stayed behind faced mass theft by RSF members, who took over private homes. Food shortages have hit Khartoum hard, with the UN warning about possible famine because markets were robbed empty and both sides blocked aid deliveries. Human rights groups found evidence of sexual attacks and other violent acts during RSF occupation. Both the army and RSF have fired shells into areas where regular people live. Earlier this week, Air Force planes bombed a market where dozens of regular people died. The government, run by military leaders, had to move to Port Sudan when RSF first took Khartoum early in the war. Taking back Khartoum gave the army a huge advantage but didn't end the fighting. The RSF still controls nearly all of western Sudan's Darfur region, and foreign countries keep sending weapons to both sides as peace talks fail. [/QUOTE]
