Footage released by the Sudanese army showed triumphant soldiers brandishing their rifles in the air and cheering in the battered grounds of the palace after days of intense fighting with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, who had occupied Sudan's seat of power since the war erupted in April 2023.

Through a megaphone in the complex, soldiers announced "The republican palace has now returned to the arms of the homeland" in footage posted on local Sudanese media.

"Today the flag is raised, the palace is back and the journey continues until victory is complete," Khalid al-Aleisir, Sudan's information minister, wrote on X.
