Sudanese army seize control of central bank

The Sudanese army has seized control of the main headquarters of the country’s central bank as the army continues to make advances in the capital against rival paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to Saudi news source Asharq Al-Awsat on March 22nd.

The takeover came a day after it seized full control of the presidential palace in what would be a major gain in a two-year-old conflict with the RSF that has divided the country.

The fall of the Republican Palace — a compound along the Nile River that was the seat of government before the war — marks another battlefield gain for Sudan’s military.
