The Sudanese army has told the BBC it has recaptured the airport in the capital, Khartoum, from RSF paramilitaries, marking its latest territorial victory in the brutal two-year civil war.
According to foreign media, General Mohamed Abdel Rahman al-Bilawi, the commander of the operation in eastern Khartoum, said that troops had fully secured it and may be able to 'clear' the rest of the RSF fighters by the end of the day.
The army has moved swiftly since retaking the presidential palace on Friday and state institutions taken over by the RSF, writes A2 CNN.
The RSF had controlled most of Khartoum since the start of the war in April 2023. Across the country, hundreds of thousands have been killed and millions have been forced to flee their homes.
Earlier, an army spokesman told the BBC that troops had captured the Manshiya Bridge, the last bridge held by the RSF, along with a military camp in Jebel Awliya, the group's stronghold in southern Khartoum.
He said the army had now recaptured all the bridges along the Nile River that connect the three cities that make up Greater Khartoum. (A2 Televizion)
