In a significant turn of events, Sudan's military has announced the recapture of the international airport in Khartoum, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing conflict against a notorious paramilitary organization. This development follows nearly two years of intense fighting.

Military officials disclosed that Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, the chief of the armed forces, made a bold landing at the airport on Wednesday to assess the situation and rally the forces on the ground.

The successful operation now positions the military closer to asserting complete control over the capital, as recent efforts also saw the retaking of the Republican Palace, a key stronghold held by the rival Rapid Support Forces since the war's outset in April 2023.
