Sudan’s military has consolidated its grip on the capital, retaking more key government buildings a day after it gained control of the Republican Palace from a paramilitary group.

Brigadier General Nabil Abdullah, a spokesman for the military, said troops had expelled the Rapid Support Forces from the headquarters of the National Intelligence Service and the Corinthia Hotel in central Khartoum.
