However, it will not necessarily bring an end to the civil war, which is fueled by large-scale smuggling of weapons and military equipment despite a UN-imposed embargo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"558\" data-end=\"903\">The French weekly pointed to Abdel Fattah al-Burhan\u2019s announcement two days ago from the presidential palace, declaring the \u201cliberation\u201d of Khartoum, saying: \u201cKhartoum is free&#8230; it\u2019s over.\u201d Circulated images showed General al-Burhan wearing military uniform, surrounded by armed men, walking through the building that bears the scars of battle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"905\" data-end=\"1359\">The capture of Khartoum, after a week of fierce fighting, is a major turning point in the two-year conflict with General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as \u201cHemedti.\u201d Nevertheless, Jeune Afrique stressed that control of the capital will not end the bloody civil war. Although al-Burhan\u2019s forces now control, in addition to the capital, the eastern and northern regions of the country, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) maintain dominance over most of Darfur.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1361\" data-end=\"1680\">In mid-February, the RSF announced its intention to form a parallel government after a meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, with several armed groups, including the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement\u2013North, which operates in the south of the country. In response, the African Union warned of \u201cthe risk of the country\u2019s division.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4067\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4067\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4067 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Commander-of-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-Hemeti-and-the-Emirati-President-Mohammed-bin-Zayed-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"Sudan has rejected the UAE\u2019s call for a ceasefire, accusing Abu Dhabi of supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Commander-of-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-Hemeti-and-the-Emirati-President-Mohammed-bin-Zayed-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Commander-of-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-Hemeti-and-the-Emirati-President-Mohammed-bin-Zayed-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Commander-of-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-Hemeti-and-the-Emirati-President-Mohammed-bin-Zayed-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Commander-of-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-Hemeti-and-the-Emirati-President-Mohammed-bin-Zayed-150x90.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Commander-of-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-Hemeti-and-the-Emirati-President-Mohammed-bin-Zayed-450x270.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Commander-of-the-Rapid-Support-Forces-Hemeti-and-the-Emirati-President-Mohammed-bin-Zayed.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4067\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Commander of the Rapid Support Forces, Hemeti, and the Emirati President, Mohammed bin Zayed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"103\" data-end=\"168\"><strong data-start=\"103\" data-end=\"168\">Drones, Deaths, and Diplomacy: Sudan\u2019s War Spills Toward Chad<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1682\" data-end=\"2026\">According to the latest United Nations statistics, the civil war has resulted in more than 18,000 civilian casualties since it began in April 2023.
