So fill us in on where the fighting stands right now. Where does the SAF control, where does RSF control, where are they contesting their control?
Speaker 1
Well, roughly, one can think of it as the SAF being dominant in the east. They've essentially moved their headquarters to Port Sudan, and then most of Darfur... Which is on the Red Sea, correct? That's correct and most of Darfur almost all of Darfur is under the control of the RSF right now a city in Darfur where many people had sought sanctuary over the course of the fighting that had managed to avoid conflict for some time is now in danger of falling as the RSF has surrounded this city and active conflict is ongoing right now.
Speaker 2
My understanding is that the RSF controls Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, which sits the confluence of the blue Nile and the white Nile, but that the SAF have taken control of some of the suburbs of Khartoum, particularly Omduram.
Speaker 1
This is the latest news, yes, and it's possible that this could go back and forth for some time. What's, I think to note about that is the level of destruction that's already occurred in Khartoum and Abderon. Vaz soirs of these cities have been leveled. It is almost unquantifiable, the losses both to people, to history, if the fighting were to stop tomorrow, the rebuilding will take generations.
