Sudan Conflict Intensifies: Army Gains Ground Against RSF

The Sudanese army is gaining ground in the ongoing conflict with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), having encircled Khartoum airport and captured the Tiba al-Hassanab camp. The conflict, sparked by a political power struggle, has led to a severe humanitarian crisis in the country.

The Sudanese army has reportedly made significant advances in its ongoing conflict with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a move that could shift the balance in a war that has raged for two years. The army has surrounded Khartoum airport, marking a strategic gain against the RSF.

Military officials confirmed the capture of Tiba al-Hassanab camp, the main RSF base in central Sudan, marking a significant turn as the army reclaims territory in Khartoum. Control of the presidential palace has also been seized, signaling potential momentum for the army in a conflict that has threatened the nation's unity and led to widespread humanitarian issues.

As United Nations officials describe Sudan as suffering from the world's largest humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by famine and disease, the root of the conflict traces back to power struggles following the ousting of Omar al-Bashir and the rift between the army and RSF leaders.
