The Sudanese army advanced towards new areas in western Omdurman, where it took control of the “Doha” neighborhood and other areas on the outskirts of the Libyan market.
The Sudanese army’s moves came as part of its attempts to regain control of areas under the control of the Rapid Support Forces.
The Sudanese army called on citizens to stay away from the areas of rapid support gatherings throughout the country and avoid any damage that may affect them, accusing the rapid support of using civilians as human shields and using their homes and surrounding areas as military sites in South Kordofan, North and East Darfur and other areas. The army confirmed that the RSF would be legitimate military targets.
The army has officially begun retaking the locality of Umbada, which was controlled by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which during the military operation suffered heavy casualties of more than 30 dead and a large number of wounded and prisoners, according to a military official.
Army forces, backed by the JEM’s tenth battalion, advanced toward Libya’s market, one of the largest in Umbada, which was fully controlled by the RSF.
Government forces in the Kadro area, north of Khartoum, continue to destroy military vehicles belonging to the Rapid Support Forces, as 8 vehicles and a strategic site where a Rapid Support Commander was holed up were destroyed, killing him and his companions, according to Sudanese media sources.
On the other hand, the army was able to close the Jili-Kadro road, which was used by the RSF to transport fuel, disconnecting the RSF at the refinery from their positions in Bahri.
The military escalation comes as conflict between Sudan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continues, raising fears of escalating violence and deteriorating security conditions in the country.
