Sudan's military said it recaptured the country's presidential palace from the rival Rapid Support Forces, or RSF. While this marks a major symbolic victory for the military, it does not necessarily mean the country's two-year civil war is close to an end.

The Sudanese military recaptured the presidential palace in the capital, Khartoum, on Friday, as it continued to make advances in its two-year-long civil war against the Rapid Support Forces.

The Sudanese military on Friday said it seized full control of the presidential palace in the heart of Khartoum from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in one of the most significant advances in a two-year-old conflict threatening to fracture the country.
