Sudan's capital slowly reopens after three years of civil war

Force in Play

Attended Khartoum reopening ceremony

The United Nations reopened its Khartoum headquarters on Thursday, nearly three years after staff fled Sudan's capital when civil war broke out in April 2023. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) recaptured Khartoum from the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in March 2025, and more than two million displaced people have since returned to a city with shattered infrastructure, limited electricity, and contaminated water. The reopening makes the UN the latest international body to resume operations, following the International Organization for Migration's (IOM) return in September 2025 and a Sudanese government relocation from Port Sudan in January 2026.
