The Sudanese army has taken control of the central headquarters of the Central Bank in Khartoum, military sources told Reuters on Saturday, March 22, 2025, marking a significant development in the ongoing conflict with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The operation is part of the army’s broader campaign to reclaim strategic locations across the capital, which has been the epicenter of heavy fighting since the outbreak of the civil conflict last April. The sources confirmed the building was fully secured, though no casualty details were provided.

This comes as international efforts intensify to broker a ceasefire and push for a political resolution to the crisis, which has killed thousands and displaced millions amid a worsening humanitarian situation.

Fighting continues in various parts of Khartoum, raising fears of further escalation.
