Khartoum: Sudans government returns to capital after nearly 3 years of war
Sudan’s Prime Minister Kamil Idris has announced the government’s return to Khartoum, after nearly three years of operating from its wartime capital of Port Sudan.
In the early days of the civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces in April 2023, the army-aligned government fled the capital, which was quickly overrun by rival troops.
The government has pursued a gradual return to Khartoum since the army recaptured the city last March.
Between March and October, 1.2 million people returned to Khartoum, according to the United Nations.
