KHARTOUM: A familiar scene returned to Khartoum as men gathered in the streets of the war-scarred Sudanese capital to break their fast on the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
It was here that fighting first erupted in April 2023 between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
The conflict then swept across the country, killing tens of thousands of people and displacing millions.
For close to two years, the Sudanese capital — composed of the three cities of Khartoum, Omdurman and Bahri — was ravaged by war until the army recaptured it last March.
Entire neighborhoods had been besieged, some left in ruins, as rival fighters shot at each other across the Nile River.
