The Russian Embassy spoke about the consequences of the liberation of the capital of the Armed Forces of Sudan

The return of Khartoum to the control of the legitimate government has become a landmark event that changes the course of the armed conflict in Sudan, the Russian Embassy in the republic told Izvestia.

"This is certainly one of the turning points of the current intra-Sudanese crisis. Not only local commentators and international observers believe this, but the rebels themselves admit it," the diplomatic mission said.

One of the main results of the liberation of Khartoum was the destruction of the political project of the commander of the Rapid Reaction Forces (RFS) Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo (Hamidti), according to the Russian Embassy.

"From the point of view of the local authorities, the liberation of the capital makes it possible to reliably stabilize the situation in all central and southern states, and to move the fighting far to the west — to Kordofan and Darfur," the diplomatic mission notes.

Russia supports the recognized Sudanese government, consistently advocates the preservation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of this friendly country, and calls for resolving the root causes of the crisis by launching an inclusive national dialogue, the embassy added.

Earlier, on March 26, the commander-in-chief of the Sudanese army and the head of the country's Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, said that the Sudanese armed forces had liberated Khartoum from the Rapid Reaction Forces.
