Khartoum, Sudan, Mar 20 (EFE).- The Sudanese army announced Thursday that its forces have reached the gates of the Presidential Palace in central Khartoum, which has been under the control of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since the war broke out in Apr. 2023.

In a statement, the Armed Forces said they had taken control of high-rise buildings east of the palace and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters, located less than half a mile from the palace’s eastern gate.

Government troops are also advancing from the south toward the city center, the statement added.

Videos circulating on social media, posted by residents, humanitarian workers, and soldiers, show intense clashes between the army and RSF fighters in central Khartoum and around the Presidential Palace.

The military has been attempting to retake the site as part of an offensive launched months ago.
