00:00
An ecstatic crowd welcomed Sudan's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.
00:07
The de facto president arrived in the eastern region of Al Jazeera after winning a major
00:12
battle in Khartoum.
00:14
We are proud in this blessed month that our forces advanced in a steady march to continue
00:19
the liberation of Sudan.
00:21
We will not step back, nor will we retreat.
00:23
We will continue until the end.
00:28
The Sudanese army said it had seized full control of the presidential palace on Friday,
00:34
a major symbolic victory for the military after almost two years of fighting with the
00:39
rapid support forces.
00:41
RSF, however, claimed it still had soldiers in Khartoum, adding that their drone attack
00:46
left numerous people dead, including four journalists from Sudan's state TV station.
00:53
Army chief al-Burhan vowed he would not negotiate with the RSF.
00:59
Under his command, the Sudanese army has secured steady advances in recent months, and supporters
01:04
are rejoicing.
01:07
This is a great day, a day of victory.
01:10
The liberation of the presidential palace means a lot to us, and is the beginning of
01:14
the end for the RSF.
01:20
But the gained battle doesn't mean that the end of the war is near.
01:24
The rapid support forces, which began establishing a parallel government earlier this year, still
01:30
hold large parts of the country, particularly in the western Darfur region.
01:36
Since the conflict's outbreak in April 2023, the war has killed tens of thousands of people,
01:43
displaced more than 12 million, and caused the world's largest humanitarian crisis, according
01:49
to the UN.
