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.

Extraordinary scenes of jubilant soldiers waving flags at Khartoum's presidential palace have suggested this could be a turning point in Sudan's bitter two-year civil war. But RSF militia are fighting back and the future remains unpredictable.
