Khartoum has lifted its two-year curfew, a gesture toward normalcy in a city that war hollowed out — but the gesture is fragile. More than two million displaced residents have returned to find a capital stripped of power, infrastructure, and safety, while the civil war that drove them away continues to burn beyond the city's edges. Sudan's military government seeks the appearance of restoration, yet the machinery of conflict — internal sweeps, regional accusations, and stalled diplomacy — reminds us that lifting a curfew is not the same as making peace.

Military government consolidates control over capital but faces continued RSF resistance in periphery; regional destabilization threatens neighboring states, particularly Chad. Humanitarian crisis drives mass displacement affecting regional stability. Military's authority remains contested despite tactical victory in Khartoum.
Similar to Somalia's 1991-2012 state collapse: military control of capital coexists with fragmented territorial control, regional spillover, and prolonged civil conflict despite apparent government victory in urban centers.

Khartoum residents face mixed prospects: improved mobility and business reopening opportunities offset by widespread infrastructure damage, power blackouts, looted properties, and ongoing security concerns. Reconstruction costs burden households already displaced and economically disrupted.
International donors may increase reconstruction aid conditional on ceasefire progress. Regional governments may implement border controls and humanitarian corridors. Sudan's central bank faces pressure to stabilize currency and fund infrastructure repairs. UN may expand peacekeeping or mediation efforts as conflict regionalizes.
