The Sudanese Army seizes Hartum Airport from RSF

The Sudanese army has told the BBC that it has seized the airport in the capital Khartoum, from the paramilitary RSF, marking its last territorial profit in the brutal two -year civil war.

Gen. Mohammed Abdel Rahman al -Bilavi, commander of the operation in East Hardum, said the troops have secured it completely and may be able to clear the other RSF fighters by the end of the day.

The army is quickly moving after the presidential palace seized on Friday and seized state institutions taken by RSF.

RSF controls the greater part of Khartoum as the war began in April 2023 throughout the country, hundreds of thousands were killed and millions were forced to escape from their homes.

Earlier, an army spokesman told the BBC that the troops had seized the Manshi Bridge, the last bridge detained by RSF, along with a military camp in Jebel Avliya, the Fortress of the Group in South Hardum.

He said that now the army has seized all the bridges across the Nile River, which connect the three cities that make up the greater Hardum.

Residents report this week that RSF fighters are retreating south, apparently to Jebel Avliya, the only place they could still cross the area.

Videos published on social media have appeared to show some people in Central Hardum, who celebrate the army's advance after what many have identified as a brutal occupation of RSF.

Those who do not want or unable to leave are consistently reported a mass robbery of RSF, whose fighters took civil homes.

Khartoum is one of the areas of the country that the UN said is approaching the conditions of starvation due to looted markets and restrictions on assistance from both sides.

Right groups also document sexual abuse and other abuses.

Both RSF and the army are also accused of indiscriminately firing civilian areas.

Earlier this week, Air Force bombed market And eyewitnesses said dozens of civilians were killed.

The military -led government was forced to move to the Red Sean port after RSF seized control over the capital at the beginning of the war.

The recovery of Khartoum is a huge achievement for the army, which could give him a strategic advantage in the war.

But the war is far from over.

RSF still owns almost the entire Darfur region in West Sudan.

Both sides are supported by foreign forces that have poured weapons in the country, and international efforts to mediate peace have failed.
