The news comes weeks after the Army made profits in and around the capital to push back the RSF.

Sudan's army announced that after weeks of fierce fighting, Sudan has cleared the state of Khartoum, which is its rival Paramilitary Rapid Support Force (RSF), and the civil war is now in its third year.

The general command of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) said in a statement Tuesday that the state (including the capital Khartoum, its twin city omdurman) and northern Khartoum (Bahri) are now “without rebels”.

“We also compensate the people for our commitment to continue our efforts until every inch of our country liberates every rebel, traitor and agent,” said SAF, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the de facto leader of the Sudan.

This was when the Sudanese army achieved many victories in the battles in and around the capital in March, including the recapture of the Presidential Palace and the main urban centers, which eventually recaptured the Khartoum airport from the RSF, led by General Mohamed Hamdan "hemedti" Dagalo.

In late March, al-Burhan announced that "Khartoum is free" a few hours after the critical airport, although smaller battles are being fought with RSF militias across the state.

Al Jazeera's Hiba Morgan reported that fierce fighting has taken place in recent days in Omdurman's Salha area, the last remaining RSF fortress and location of one of the group's largest military bases.

“The military has been gradually growing in the Salja region over the past few days until it was able to fully control the RSF in the early hours of Tuesday,” she said.

“The Army also said it was able to restore weapons and ammunition for paramilitary use, including drones and jamming systems.”

After more than two years of devastating civil war, gradually attracting foreign funds and weapons, control of the Sudan remains torn between the two generals and their allies.

The SAF ruled the north and east - including the smallest states, but the most populous Khartoum, as well as some central regions, while the RSF occupied most of the western Sudan, including most Darfur.

If the RSF is forced to return to the ground, it has been trying to cause damage to drone strikes, including those targeting energy infrastructure in Khartoum and the port of Sudan.

Fighting has also been taking place in El-Fasher, the capital of Sudan's northern Darfur state, as well as some key supply lines in Kordofan.

So far, the war has been forcibly displaced, with thousands of people killed and many exposed to racial-based violence.
