Sudan's military-led government has lifted a curfew and state of emergency in Khartoum after 18 months since the army regained control from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). While over two million of the five million displaced people have returned to the city since fighting ended in March 2025, ongoing clashes in southern and western Sudan and severe damage to infrastructure complicate recovery efforts. Tensions with neighboring Chad have escalated following an alleged airstrike by the Sudanese army on a Chadian military convoy, prompting concerns about the war's potential to destabilize the region.
