In January 2026, the Sudanese army began redeploying its forces to Kordofan and Darfur. The military aims to retake control of these regions from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This redeployment occurs as the Sudanese government returns to Khartoum, the country's capital, for the first time since the conflict with the RSF began in 2023. The army's actions signify an escalation in the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese military and the RSF, as the government seeks to regain territory lost during the past three years.
