Sudanese Authorities Lift Curfew and State of Emergency in Khartoum After Two Years

The military-led government of Sudan officially lifted the curfew and state of emergency in Khartoum on August 29, 18 months after the army regained control of the capital. The measure aims to restore normal life and encourage the return of businesses and embassies to the city, which has seen roughly two million residents return since March 2025. Despite the easing of restrictions in the capital, the civil war continues to intensify in the southern and western regions.
