Khartoum Remains Largely In Ruins Amid Sudan Conflict
General Daglow and RSF militias occupied the National Museum in Khartoum during their confrontation with Sudanese Armed Forces under General Burhan. International interests are believed to be playing a, though often unseen, role in the conflict. The situation has already affected tens of thousands of people, many of whom are unaware of the full extent of the crisis. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia, led by General Mohamed Daghlou, attacked the regular Sudanese army in Khartoum. The conflict escalated on a Saturday in April 2023. The regular army is under the de facto ruler General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. The country is rich in gold, oil, and water, with the Nile flowing through it. Sudan also possesses large arable areas, giving it the potential to be self-sufficient and play a role globally.
