Sudan: SAF Announce Liberation of Entire Khartoum State From Al-Dagalo Terrorist Militia
- Sudan's armed forces announced on May 20, 2025, that they have fully cleared Khartoum state of the Rapid Support Forces militia after intense fighting in the capital region including Omdurman.
- The announcement followed months of conflict that began in April 2023, driven by power struggles between General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's army and RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo amid ongoing civil war.
- The military secured key victories including the recapture of the presidential palace, major urban centers, Khartoum airport, and the last RSF stronghold in southern Omdurman's Salha area.
- Army spokesperson Nabil Abdullah declared that the forces have successfully removed all members of the Al-Dagalo militia from Khartoum state, while UN reports indicate that over 20,000 people have died and 15 million have been displaced across the country.
- This development marks a major military success for the Sudanese army but the war continues elsewhere, causing one of the world's worst humanitarian crises with ongoing fighting and displacement.
