A burnt-out shell – BBC visits Sudan’s capital after the army’s victory
The battered heart of Khartoum lies eerily quiet now, after weeks of intense urban combat in the Sudanese capital.
We entered the city just days after Sudan’s army recaptured it from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the culmination of a six-month offensive through the central part of the country.
Once the commercial heart and seat of Sudan’s government, Khartoum is now a burnt-out shell.
Taking back the capital was a turning point in the two-year civil war, which erupted out of a power struggle between the army and the RSF.
But it is not clear what direction the conflict will take now.
