Sudan’s government has lifted the curfew and state of emergency in Khartoum after more than two years, as authorities seek to restore normal life following the army’s recapture of the capital from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Key developments:

  • More than two million people have returned to Khartoum since fighting there ended in March 2025, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
  • Authorities are reopening services, including limited airport operations, while residents face damaged infrastructure, power shortages and rebuilding challenges.
  • Clashes continue in parts of Sudan, with tensions rising after Chad accused the Sudanese army of striking a convoy inside its territory.
  • US Senior Adviser for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos warned the conflict risks wider regional instability.

The move comes as diplomatic efforts continue to secure a humanitarian truce and prevent further escalation beyond Sudan’s borders.
