Sudan's military has secured major territorial victories this week, intensifying its months-long campaign against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). 🌍 Here's the latest from the front lines:
Khartoum's Key Stronghold Falls
The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) announced full control of Bahri City's Kafouri neighborhood—the RSF's last urban stronghold near capital Khartoum. SAF special forces conducted "intense operations" to clear the area, ending its role as an artillery base for attacks on nearby Omdurman. 💣
Railway Hub Captured in North Kordofan
After days of fierce battles, SAF reclaimed Al-Rahad city—a vital railway link connecting western and central Sudan. 🚂 This follows January's recapture of Um Ruwaba, signaling RSF's weakening grip in the region.
Why It Matters
These advances mark the SAF's most significant progress since conflict erupted in April 2023. With RSF losing territories in Gezira, Sinnar, and Khartoum's oil refinery areas, analysts suggest momentum may be shifting. However, the human cost remains staggering: ⚠️ Over 29,680 lives lost according to international monitors.
As both sides dig in, all eyes remain on strategic cities like El Obeid—now just 30km from SAF-controlled Al-Rahad. Will this be Sudan's turning point? Only time (and terrain) will tell. ⏳
