# The Sudanese army has recaptured Khartoum airport from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Just south of central Khartoum, troops also surrounded the strategic Jebel Awliya area, the last large RSF stronghold in the Khartoum area, from the north, south and east. The military, at war with the RSF since April 2023, launched a campaign this week to push the paramilitary forces out of central Khartoum, after recapturing the presidential palace in a key victory on Friday. RSF fighters had been stationed inside the airport since the war began.
