Sudan’s army seizes control of central bank amid steady gains in Khartoum
Al Jazeera
The capture of the bank comes a day after Sudanese army forces celebrated the seizure of the presidential palace.
The Sudanese army claims to have seized control of the main headquarters of the country’s central bank from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as it continues to make advances in the capital.
Nabil Abdallah, an army spokesman, said in a statement to the AFP news agency on Saturday that the soldiers had “eliminated hundreds of militia members who tried to escape through pockets in central Khartoum”.
The bank’s takeover comes a day after the army seized control of the presidential palace in a significant military victory.
But the RSF retaliated to Friday’s takeover with a drone attack that killed three journalists and several army personnel.
Army sources told AFP that RSF fighters on Friday fled into buildings in al-Mogran, an area west of the palace housing banks and business headquarters.
