Or are these merely fleeting victories, subject to reversal in the days ahead?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1084\" data-end=\"1236\">Amid these developments, the Sudanese army reclaimed the Republican Palace and sovereign ministries in Khartoum\u2014an event with major symbolic weight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1523\">But does this control represent the genuine restoration of state authority and institutions, marking a decisive turn in the war toward an inevitable conclusion? Or is it simply a powerful symbolic military achievement that doesn&#8217;t necessarily translate into full security or stability?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14552\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14552\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14552 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/sudanf.jpg\" alt=\"Army Secures Palace as RSF Regroups Nearby\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/sudanf.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/sudanf-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/sudanf-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/sudanf-390x220.jpg 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14552\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Army&#8217;s Advance Marks Turning Point in Battle for Khartoum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"1530\" data-end=\"1565\">Negotiations or Total Collapse?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1567\" data-end=\"1811\">With these changing dynamics, the prospect of negotiations looms as a possible outcome, especially amid increasing talk of the RSF\u2019s defeat. This in turn prompts an assessment of the remaining options for the RSF in this critical phase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"1998\">It is crucial to emphasize that any negotiation path will be dictated by the new realities brought about by the RSF\u2019s battlefield setbacks\u2014which now seem more than mere speculation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2000\" data-end=\"2219\">Yet, even with a ceasefire, Sudan will still face deep-seated security and political challenges. Key questions emerge: How will the remaining RSF networks be dismantled? How can Sudan ensure violence doesn\u2019t return?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2221\" data-end=\"2411\">As the RSF commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (Hemedti) watches his forces crumble, he may seek a political exit\u2014but his path is riddled with legal threats and growing public rejection.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14551\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14551\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14551 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/sudan-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The Sudanese army has regained control of the Republican Palace in Khartoum\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/sudan-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/sudan-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/sudan-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/sudan-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/sudan.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rapid Support Forces The Sudanese army clashes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"2418\" data-end=\"2449\">Is the RSF Facing Collapse?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2451\" data-end=\"2593\">Recent developments raise questions about whether the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/03\/26\/sudanese-army-declares-rsf-defeated-after-major-gains-in-khartoum\/\">RSF<\/a> is on the verge of collapse, or simply undergoing a strategic repositioning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2595\" data-end=\"2910\">Reports point to severe logistical challenges, including major casualties, disrupted supply lines, and attacks on ammunition depots. The RSF&#8217;s legitimacy has also eroded, as UN reports and international condemnations accuse it of war crimes. Regional support has waned, under international pressure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2912\" data-end=\"3268\">Despite this, the RSF retains some capacity\u2014especially due to logistical support from Chad\u2014to regroup and continue fighting in Darfur, where it has traditional strongholds. A complete defeat remains uncertain, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/02\/06\/rapid-collapse-of-the-rsf-how-bin-zayeds-dreams-in-sudan-vanished\/\">RSF<\/a> is clearly strategically weakened, possibly on the path to fragmentation or transformation into a guerrilla force.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3270\" data-end=\"3439\">A likely scenario is that the RSF transitions into a decentralized rebel movement, akin to other militias in Africa, rather than remaining a unified military entity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3441\" data-end=\"3664\">The RSF may see the army\u2019s victories as temporary, driven by local or tactical shifts. Still, the recapture of key strategic sites in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/03\/26\/sudanese-army-declares-rsf-defeated-after-major-gains-in-khartoum\/\">Khartoum<\/a>, including the Republican Palace, represents clear military superiority.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3666\" data-end=\"3789\">This is more than a battlefield win\u2014it carries political and symbolic meaning, reaffirming central state authority.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3791\" data-end=\"3984\">Controlling these sites allows the army to resume some administrative functions, even if limited at first. The morale boost for the army is significant, while the RSF\u2019s morale has declined.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3986\" data-end=\"4077\">This could pave the way for a gradual return of government institutions to the capital.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9209\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9209\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9209 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sudanese-Rapid-Support-Forces-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Following RSF setbacks, the UAE is in crisis mode to retrieve or destroy documents exposing its role in funding and arming Sudanese militias through secret networks and shell companies.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sudanese-Rapid-Support-Forces-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sudanese-Rapid-Support-Forces-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sudanese-Rapid-Support-Forces-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sudanese-Rapid-Support-Forces-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sudanese-Rapid-Support-Forces-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sudanese-Rapid-Support-Forces-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sudanese-Rapid-Support-Forces-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sudanese-Rapid-Support-Forces-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Sudanese-Rapid-Support-Forces.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9209\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sudanese Rapid Support Forces<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"\" data-start=\"4084\" data-end=\"4122\">Political Process: Still Essential<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4124\" data-end=\"4285\">However, real stability will require a comprehensive political process involving all stakeholders to build good governance and ensure Sudan\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4287\" data-end=\"4460\">Core questions remain: What will post-war governance look like?
