In a recent video statement, Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan emphasized his commitment to defeat the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), stating there would be no reconciliation with the paramilitary group. He offered a path for the RSF fighters to lay down their arms and "repent to the truth," asserting that the army had successfully taken control of key positions in Khartoum, including major markets that the RSF previously utilized for attacks. As reported by Africanews, Burhan declared, "We will neither forgive, nor compromise, nor negotiate." Meanwhile, RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, acknowledged the retreat from Khartoum as a tactical move and indicated that the conflict was far from over. In his first comments since the withdrawal, Dagalo asserted his forces would return "stronger, more powerful, and victorious," as captured by Reuters. The war, which stems from power struggles ahead of a planned transition to civilian rule, has resulted in a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented scale, with over 12 million Sudanese displaced and tens of thousands killed. Many are suffering from acute hunger, reflecting the dire conditions described by the UN, which cited the conflict as contributing to the world's worst hunger and displacement crises. Al Jazeera reported that the fighting has devastated much of Khartoum, leaving roughly half of the country's 50 million people in need of emergency aid. The situation remains tense as the Sudanese army continues its efforts to solidify control over Omdurman, the twin city of Khartoum, further intensifying the struggle for dominance in the region.
