Sudan’s government return to country’s capital after three years
(MENAFN) Sudan’s transitional authorities have resumed operations in the capital after nearly three years based in Port Sudan, following intense fighting between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
On Sunday, Prime Minister Kamil Idris described the return of the so-called “government of hope” to Khartoum as a significant step toward “inevitable peace.”
The army-led administration had relocated to the Red Sea port city after the RSF took control of Khartoum in 2023. In March of the previous year, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, head of the Sudanese Armed Forces and the country’s de facto leader, declared the capital “free” after SAF troops regained key infrastructure, including the international airport.
Authorities have since focused on rebuilding the city, and in September they announced the withdrawal of thousands of troops to allow displaced residents to return.
During the height of the conflict, over 15 million people were forced to flee their homes. Since then, around 3 million have returned to their communities, with more than 1 million resettling in Khartoum alone, according to recent United Nations migration data.
