Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, is currently the site of intense battles between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The army has launched a new offensive against the RSF, leading to clashes in the city. Al Jazeera’s Hiba Morgan is on the ground in Khartoum, reporting on the situation as it unfolds.
The fighting in Khartoum highlights the ongoing power struggle in Sudan following the ousting of former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019. The RSF, led by General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, has been a key player in the country’s political landscape since then. The army’s offensive against the RSF indicates tensions between different factions within the Sudanese government and military.
The situation in Khartoum is causing concern among the international community, with calls for a peaceful resolution to the conflict and a return to stability in Sudan. The clashes between the army and the RSF have led to casualties and displacement of civilians, adding to the already dire humanitarian situation in the country.
As the violence continues in Khartoum, journalists like Hiba Morgan are working to provide up-to-date coverage of the situation. The presence of media personnel on the ground is crucial in shedding light on the conflict and holding the parties involved accountable for their actions.
The fighting in Khartoum serves as a reminder of the challenges facing Sudan as it navigates its transition to democracy. The international community, including the United Nations and regional organizations, will be closely monitoring the situation and calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Sudan’s capital.
