Sudan rebels entirely pushed out of Khartoum state, army saysThe civil war in Sudan has led to widespread destruction in Sudan's capital city KhartoumEarlier on Tuesday, fighting had broken out between the warring groups in the city of Omdurman - which is also in Khartoum state and part of the capital region.
The announcement comes nearly two months after the military recaptured Khartoum city - including the presidential palace - from its rivals in a major victory.
"Khartoum State is completely free of rebels", the army said in a statement published by Sudan's News Agency.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) group, which has been engaged in a two-year war with Sudan's army, has been entirely pushed out of Khartoum state, says the military.
Those accusations continued on Tuesday, with Sudan saying the UAE was responsible for an attack on Port Sudan earlier this month, Reuters news agency reported.
