00:00First of all, this conflict has been going on for two years.
00:04This has been described as a real key moment.
00:07Can you tell us why?
00:09In such conflicts and such regimes,
00:13the control of the capital,
00:15especially the presidential passes,
00:18is extremely symbolic.
00:20It is seen as the centre of gravity in the country
00:26who controls a city, especially the seat of power,
00:30symbolically to the people.
00:33He is now the actual ruler.
00:35He has the legitimate right to be in there.
00:39So, in this long conflict,
00:43now we've seen the Sudanese armed forces
00:48make this steady progress over the past few weeks,
00:53and now they have managed to sack the capital
00:57and gain complete control of it,
01:00and evict the RISF forces.
01:03So, this is a significant move.
