Sudan army says it has recaptured Khartoum airport

Sudan’s military says it has retaken the international airport in the capital Khartoum after nearly two years of fighting against a paramilitary group.

The military says its chief, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, landed at the airport on Wednesday and inspected forces there.

The development brings the military a step closer to declaring the capital fully liberated as it continues its advance toward key locations.

Troops last week retook the Republican Palace, which had been a stronghold of the rival Rapid Support Forces during the war that began in April 2023.
