00:00Sudan's military said it retook the Republican palace in Khartoum, the last bastion in the

00:06capital of rival paramilitary forces, after nearly two years of fighting.

00:11Social media video shows the soldiers inside giving the dead as the 21st day of Ramadan,

00:16which was Friday.

00:17The fall of the Republican palace, a compound along the Nile River that was the seat of

00:22the government before the war erupted, and is immortalised on Sudanese banknotes and

00:28postage stamps, marks another battlefield gain for Sudanese military.

00:33It has made steady advances in recent months under their Army Chief General Abdel Fattah

00:38Buran.

00:39This victory means the rival Rapid Support Forces under General Mohamed Abdel Daglo have

00:45been expelled from the capital of Khartoum after Sudan's war began in April 2023.

00:50However, the group did not immediately acknowledge the loss, which likely won't stop the fighting

00:55as the RSF and its allies still hold territory elsewhere in Sudan.

00:59Late Thursday, the RSF claimed it seized control of the Sudanese city of Al-Maliha, a strategic

01:05desert city in north Darfur.

01:07Sudan's military has acknowledged fighting around Al-Maliha, but has not said it lost

01:12the city.
