Except for clashes at the Arabic Market and the Airport, today was very quiet. However, some people have reported a considerable increase in SAF soldiers at the General Command and there might be a renewed offensive on the Presidential Palace in the coming week.
I've made 4 corrections to the map. (1) Someone in the Corinthia hotel reported RSF vehicles driving up to Tuti bridge and setting up checkpoints. There doesn't usually seem to be much combat on this part of Nile Bridge according to their statements.
(2) RSF has been noted to still be in control of the Jewelry and Gold Hyper Mart. The Arabic Market area has been described as a SAF killzone by local sources, where RSF soldiers are lured into to then be killed. The fighting here has been the most intense in all of Khartoum.
(3) Locals have stated that Al-Emtidad and Al-Sahafa districts get patrolled by RSF. However their control over the entirety of South Khartoum is so weak that SAF can often slip through, with fighting reported at Southern Arkaweet (4) and Al Mujahdeen (5) over the past week.
(6) A video geolocated by @mustapro shows SAF firing South in Gabra at 15.532026,32.501436. It's dated to yesterday, I have slightly updated the map based on it.

I'm currently trying to get a scope of the extend to which RSF fights/patrols out of uniform or with stolen/civilian vehicles. If you have information on this you can send it to me, I'm planning on making a full thread on it eventually
As always if you live in an area that you think is represented incorrectly on the map, you can DM me information so that I can correct the map. For safety reasons I will not publish your name or where you live. You can view the full map here: google.com
Note: East Nile Hospital seems to have been converted into a RSF base. Stolen vehicles RSF uses to deliver supplies to their troops have been tracked stopping at it to load off supplies, and checkpoints have been established around it as can be seen here:
Update: (7) A soldier stationed at the Armament Corps confirms this military base is still SAF controlled.
Note: 2 RSF bases/checkpoints have been reported to me in Eastern Arkaweet, consisting of 3 armored vehicles each. Many additional vehicles pass by the Western checkpoint on a regular basis, which means this could be an RSF supply route.
I've seen a lot of people take this map as RSF winning, but it's very important to keep in mind that while the RSF patrol many residential and industrial areas, the SAF control the majority of the crucial military institutions and bases and are in fact in the initiative
