Media sources confirmed the continuation of violent clashes between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces since dawn today in the Jabra area, south of the capital, Khartoum, as well as in the city of Omdurman.
According to the sources, the army used heavy artillery to repel the advance of the Rapid Support Forces, which led to heavy losses of life and equipment for these forces.
Developments in the situation indicate that the army succeeded in regaining control over several strategic points that were occupied by the Rapid Support Forces in Jabra.
The sources reported that the army launched continuous artillery attacks since the morning on Rapid Support Forces concentrations in various neighborhoods of the city of Omdurman, targeting in particular the Umm Baddah area and Souq Libya.
Assistant Commander of the Sudanese Army, Lieutenant General Yasser Al-Atta, confirmed his refusal to negotiate at the present time, stressing the army’s commitment to eliminating what he described as the “nightmare” facing the country.
For his part, the commander of the Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, announced his support for regional initiatives to restore peace and the democratic path in Sudan, accusing the army of failing to participate in the peace negotiations.
On the other hand, the American network “NBC” revealed the use of fires as a weapon of war in various regions of Sudan, as satellite images showed the destruction of hundreds of towns and villages as a result of arson fires, while experts believe that these actions indicate attempts at forced displacement and the commission of war crimes.
