Sudanese residents returning to Khartoum after the war are finding a devastated city, with widespread power cuts, destroyed buildings and rubble lining the streets. Basic services remain largely broken, making daily life extremely difficult despite the army regaining control of much of the capital. The situation highlights the enormous reconstruction challenge facing Sudan as displaced families attempt to restart their lives.

Sudan's repeated ceasefire agreements, brokered in Jeddah and most recently discussed in New York, have failed to halt the war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces. Commentators are asking why truces keep collapsing, pointing to weak enforcement, lack of trust between the warring sides and the absence of pressure on both to comply.

Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has rejected conditions attached by the United States to a proposed ceasefire in Sudan's war, while also dismissing claims that he needs a visa, saying no visa is required for his travel. The remarks signal continued friction between Khartoum's military leadership and Washington over efforts to end the conflict with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

Saudi Arabia has accused Sudan's Rapid Support Forces of carrying out a drone strike on a humanitarian aid convoy.

Millions of people returning to Khartoum are finding the Sudanese capital barely habitable, with widespread power cuts, rubble-strewn streets and destroyed infrastructure. The city was heavily damaged during the conflict between the army and paramilitary forces, and returning residents face shortages of electricity, water and basic services. Aid agencies warn that conditions remain dire despite claims of security improving in some areas.

A drone strike attributed to Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has hit a strategic fuel depot in central Sudan, according to a Sudan Tribune report. The attack raises concerns about fuel shortages and worsening infrastructure damage as the conflict between the RSF and the Sudanese army continues.

Sudanese doctors say the Rapid Support Forces looted and wrecked a hospital in Sodari, in North Kordofan state.
