As the year comes to a close, we can't forget about #Sudan Two months ago, SAF launched an offensive to retake the capital from the RSF Casualties seem to have spiked due to the fierce clashes, yet exact figures are tough to come by. My last story in 2024. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

Fierce fighting in Khartoum endangers Sudanese civilians
The army’s bid to retake the capital from a paramilitary has led to fierce clashes and high civilian casualties.
