The Sudanese army recaptured the Republican Palace in Khartoum, the last fortress in the capital of its rival paramilitary forces, after almost two years of fighting, the Associated Press reported.
Social media videos showed soldiers giving the date as the 21st day of Ramadan on Friday. A Sudanese soldier wearing the captain’s euphoria announced on video, confirming that the army is in the compound.
The palace appears to be partially abandoned, and the soldiers’ stairs crushed broken tiles underneath the boots. The soldier carrying the assault rifle and rocket propelling ornamental launcher chanted, “God is the best!”
Sudan’s Information Minister Khaled Al-Aiser said the military had seized the palace on the post of social platform X.
“Today, the flag has been raised, the palace is back and the journey continues until victory is complete,” he wrote.
