April 2023 – 2024 · Khartoum (Omdurman) Theater
April 2023 – 2024
Omdurman — the historic twin city to Khartoum, site of Kitchener's decisive 1898 battle — became one of the primary RSF strongholds. RSF fighters moved through civilian neighborhoods, establishing firing positions in homes and mosques. SAF airstrikes hit RSF positions but caused widespread civilian casualties. The RSF's control of Omdurman's commercial and residential heart gave them a chokehold on supply routes into Khartoum. Over 500,000 people fled Omdurman's metropolitan area in the first three months.
