The New York Times published on 21 March 2025 an article titled "Sudan's Military Retakes Presidential Palace in Devastated Capital" by Declan Walsh and Ivor Prickett.
The article describes and contains pictures of the devastation the war between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has inflicted on Khartoum. The SAF now controls most of Khartoum and Omdurman across the White Nile from the capital. While Khartoum is a scene of devastation, markets and restaurants are bustling in Omdurman.
