Sudan's army and allied militias have regained control of the country's central bank headquarters and other key sites in the capital from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, witnesses said on Saturday,

Sudan’s military has consolidated its grip on Khartoum, retaking more key government buildings a day after it gained control of the capital's Republican Palace from a notorious paramilitary group.

The Sudanese army seized full control of the presidential palace in downtown Khartoum on Friday, it said in a statement, in what would be a major gain in a two-year-old conflict with a rival armed group that has threatened to partition the country.
