The Sudanese Armed Forces will likely need a month to fully drive the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) out of the capital, Khartoum, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing a source in Port Sudan, who also noted that the course of the war has shifted decisively.In the early stages of the conflict that began in 2023, Sudan's Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan had to retreat from Khartoum to Port Sudan on the Red Sea, but the situation has since changed. The military regained control of Wad Madani, the administrative center of Al Jazirah province, and is conducting operations in the capital's metropolitan area. Factors contributing to this shift include stretched supply lines and declining morale among the RSF, along with the armed forces' air superiority and support from allied groups, Financial Times reported.The source, a former officer maintaining ties with the military, told the FT that the troops are two kilometers away from the head of state's residence, and the RSF mainly resists only in partially destroyed neighborhoods in the southern part of the capital's center.Last Saturday, al-Burhan stated he would establish a new technocratic government as soon as the troops regain Khartoum. A source close to the current military government in Port Sudan explained that once control is secured in the capital and the east of the country, the priority will shift to combating the RSF in the Darfur region in the west.

Earlier, Sudan's Armed Forces also regained control over almost all of North Khartoum, a city on the right bank of the Blue Nile, which, together with Khartoum and Omdurman, forms the metropolitan area, leaving only the Kafouri neighborhood to secure.
The
Sudanese Armed Forces will likely need a month to fully drive the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) out of the capital, Khartoum, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing a source in Port Sudan, who also noted that the course of the war has shifted decisively.
In the early stages of the conflict that began in 2023, Sudan's Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan had to retreat from
Khartoum to Port Sudan on the
Red Sea, but the situation has since changed. The military regained control of Wad Madani, the administrative center of Al Jazirah province, and is conducting operations in the capital's metropolitan area.
Factors contributing to this shift include stretched supply lines and declining morale among the RSF, along with the armed forces' air superiority and support from allied groups, Financial Times reported.
The source, a former officer maintaining ties with the military, told the FT that the troops are two kilometers away from the head of state's residence, and the RSF mainly resists only in partially destroyed neighborhoods in the southern part of the capital's center.
Last Saturday, al-Burhan
stated he would establish a new technocratic government as soon as the troops regain Khartoum. A source close to the current military government in Port Sudan explained that once control is secured in the capital and the east of the country, the priority will shift to combating the RSF in the Darfur region in the west.
