00:00Sudanese continue to welcome army soldiers who helped reclaim areas from rapid support

00:06forces in the previous days.

00:09In this neighborhood of Alafa is home to the now destroyed Alafa market, one of the biggest

00:15market in the area, and residents who are seen welcoming soldiers who helped liberate

00:20the area.

00:21We thank God and praise him for the blessings that the army has reached us.

00:25These people are living in fear and insecurity.

00:28People couldn't step out of their doors.

00:29I mean, for me now, I've merely gone out.

00:32I wasn't able to go out at all before.

00:34So thank God, because the army has arrived.

00:38We are very happy and God willing, there will be a victory from God soon until all of the

00:42areas from here to Darfur are liberated areas.

00:45One army, one people.

00:47The war in Sudan that started in April 2023 has wrecked the capital and other urban cities

00:53across the country.

00:54It has killed more than 28,000 people and forced millions to flee their homes.

00:58One army said on Wednesday it had recaptured Khartoum's international airport and the military

01:03chief flew back to the capital for the first time in nearly two years of war.

01:10This is a joy like no other, a joy that brought tears to the eyes of men before women.

01:14This is the most honest expression one can say at this moment, because we were living

01:19a life without life.

01:20We ate and drank, but we did not feel alive in all aspects.

01:24We could not move freely.

01:25We couldn't.

01:26If we had to combine sunset and evening prayers, then we wouldn't go out to the streets.

01:31If you went out to the streets, then your life is over.

01:36Sudan's military of Saturday consolidated its grip on the capital, retaking more key

01:40government buildings the day after it gained control of the Republican palace.
