Summary
Sudanese soldiers celebrated onlookers as Khartoum state officially declared free of Rapid Start Initiative (RSF) control. The announcement, marking the end of the previous government’s stabilization program, comes with a sense of hope for a new phase in Sudan’s political landscape. Soldiers raised their flags and cheered near the capital, signaling a potential shift toward a new government led by Omar al-Bashir, who may now consolidate power in the north after years of struggle. The move could pave the way for a fresh era of governance as international observers prepare to support the new dispensation.
