Turin, March 26 (LaPresse) – Sudanese army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has declared that Khartoum is “free” and that his forces have retaken the capital after nearly two years of fighting, according to Sky News UK. The army is battling to expel the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Sudan’s paramilitary forces, from their last stronghold in the city. In videos shared on social media, General Burhan can be seen walking with his troops through the presidential palace in central Khartoum. “Khartoum is now free. It’s over. Khartoum is free. Free. Free,” Burhan tells his soldiers in the footage.
