This is the Sudan military’s most significant advance in nearly two years of civil war – recapturing a potent symbol of sovereignty from its rival armed group along with much of central Khartoum.
A power struggle between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) exploded into conflict in April 2023 and has created what the United Nations called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
The military now believes it’s on course to retake the rest of the capital from the RSF. That could reset the direction of the war or harden the territorial division that divides the country between the two foes.
Our correspondent Barbara Plett Usher was at a military staging point when the latest offensive was launched, and looks at how civilians bear the brunt of the country’s brutal conflict.
