CAIRO (Reuters) - Sudanese army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan visited its strategic headquarters in central Khartoum on Sunday in his first appearance there since government forces claimed to have broken a months-long siege by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Burhan's forces are advancing in the capital and consolidating positions in the east, the troops of his rival, General Hemedti, are tightening pressure on El-Fasher, in Darfur, in the west.

Sudan's army chief visited on Sunday his headquarters in the capital Khartoum, two days after forces recaptured the building which had been encircled by paramilitary fighters since the war erupted in April 2023.
