General Abdel Fatah Berhan, the Sudanese Army Director General Abdel Fatah Berhan announced that Khartoum State University was “liberated” from the Rapid Support Force (RSF) on Wednesday, and soon after, landed at the Capital International Airport for the first time in two years.
In the early hours of Wednesday, March 26, the Army and its auxiliary forces carried out the largest ground military offensive in Khartoum State, capturing military and civilian sites and expanding to most communities in the capital after a wide range of RSF elements.
The RSF element left most of the Khartoum cities they occupied and evacuated to the western part of the country. During an escape journey recorded by Army drone footage, the unit’s vehicles and soldiers were crowded at the Jebel Aulia Bridge south of Khartoum.
Residents in southern Khartoum celebrated the arrival of troops previously under RSF control to the community, seeing citizens shouting at the army in areas such as Sahafa Province, Karakra and Grif.
“Soviet Commission Chairman and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces General Abdallah, General Abdallah, deployed troops at Khartoum International Airport today and inspected forces at the Republican Palace,” Sudan Army spokesman Nabil Abdallah said in a statement.
He explained that Burhan’s plane was the first aircraft received by the airport since the war broke out on April 15, 2023.
On the first day of the war, the RSF seized control of Khartoum International Airport, and the Army took it back together with other locations in the capital on Wednesday.
