Sudan lifts Khartoum's two-year-old curfew and state of emergency
Sudanese authorities have officially lifted the state of emergency and the long-standing curfew in the capital city of Khartoum, which had been in place for two years. The decision follows recent shifts in the military landscape, including reports of redeployments and internal factional changes. The move is seen as an attempt to normalize conditions in the capital despite the ongoing broader conflict between the SAF and RSF.
