TOPSHOT-SUDAN-CONFLICT-RSF-ARMY-OIL-REFINERY

TOPSHOT - This picture shows the burnt and heavily damaged facilities of the Jaili Oil Refinery, Sudan's largest, north of the capital Khartoum on March 18, 2025. The refinery, located about 70 kilometres (43 miles) north of Khartoum and considered before the war a vital lifeline for Sudan and its southern neighbour South Sudan, fell into the hands of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) just days after fighting between the group and the army erupted in April 2023. For months, intense clashes and shelling battered the facility, forcing a complete shutdown by July 2023. (Photo by Ebrahim Hamid / AFP) (Photo by EBRAHIM HAMID/AFP via Getty Images)
