US EditionSudan: Paramilitary Shelling Hits Sudan's Presidential Palace
- On May 1, 2025, Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces launched artillery attacks on the presidential palace in Khartoum, marking their second strike on the capital within a week.
- This shelling follows two years of conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese army, which began in April 2023 and has divided the country in two.
- The RSF launched long-range artillery strikes from their nearest position located in Al-Salha, on the opposite side of the White Nile, while the army countered with anti-aircraft fire.
- The ongoing conflict has resulted in the deaths of many tens of thousands and displaced around 13 million people, with RSF forces strengthening their hold over Darfur and recently seizing El-Nuhud, an important town located east of Al-Fashir.
- The ongoing violence has caused widespread displacement, hindered relief efforts, and raised fears of permanent division, as the army controls the centre, north, and east, while RSF holds west and parts of south Sudan.
