The Sudanese army has been encircling Khartoum airport, according to two military sources speaking to International News Syndicate on Wednesday, while trying to eliminate its rival Rapid Support Forces from its last base in the capital. However, the conflict appears to be ongoing.

After a two-year conflict that is dividing the vast country into rival zones of control, the army retaken the presidential palace in downtown Khartoum after fighting on Friday, a symbolic advance.

The army reported on Wednesday that it had regained control of Tiba al-Hassanab camp south of the capital, which it deemed to be the RSF's last base in central Sudan and its last stronghold in Khartoum State.

According to military sources, the army is encircling the airport in the city centre and surrounding areas.

Witnesses reported that the RSF had positioned their troops in southern Khartoum as a means of securing their withdrawal from the city via bridges to the neighbouring city of Omdurman.

The RSF has consolidated its control in the west, threatening to move the country towards a de facto partition as it has recently gained gains in central Sudan, retaken districts of the capital and other territory.

During the country's transition to democracy, the war that began two years ago has led to the U.N. 

The world has declared the largest humanitarian crisis, as famine in various areas and disease outbreaks have occurred.
