The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) lost control of the capital early in the war and have been fighting for two years to recapture it from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Now they have retaken the presidential palace and believe they are on course to win back the rest of the capital. But they are a long way from winning the war.

The complex, which includes the historic Republican Palace, is a symbol of power and sovereignty, important for the military-led government and its narrative as legitimate rulers fighting a "terrorist militia."

This is also a strategic victory.
