Sudan Government Return Khartoum 2026: PM Idris Reclaims War-Torn Capital
Sudanese PM Kamil Idris has announced the official Sudan government return to Khartoum in 2026. After three years of exile, the move aims at reconstruction despite ongoing conflict.
The exile is over, but the scars remain. Sudan's government has officially returned to its capital, Khartoum, after nearly three years of operating from the wartime hub of Port Sudan. Prime Minister Kamil Idris announced the move on January 11, 2026, marking a pivotal moment in the nation's ongoing struggle for stability.
Sudan Government Return Khartoum 2026: Rebuilding from Rubble
Speaking to reporters in the ravaged capital, PM Idris declared the return of the "Government of Hope." He pledged a massive overhaul of healthcare, education, and essential services like electricity and water. This homecoming follows the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF)' recapture of the city in March 2025, ending a long period where the city was an active battlefield between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Today, we return, and the Government of Hope returns to the national capital. We promise you better services and the reconstruction of hospitals.
A Nation Still Divided by Conflict
Despite the symbolic return, the humanitarian situation remains dire. The UN estimates that rehabilitating basic infrastructure in Khartoum alone will cost at least $350 million. While 1.2 million people have returned since last year, many found their homes destroyed and neighborhoods filled with makeshift graves.
The conflict is far from over. Battles continue to rage in Darfur and Kordofan. The SAF claimed heavy RSF losses this week, including 240 combat vehicles destroyed. Meanwhile, 11 million people remain displaced, fueling what experts call the world's largest hunger crisis.
