Sudan army captures 3 more towns from RSF

The Sudanese army continued to make more military gains yesterday against its rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group in central Sudan, Anadolu reported.

Local media said that army forces seized control of the towns of Al-Maseed, Al-Nuba and Al-Tayyi in Jazirah State.

With the new gains, the army is now closing in on Giad city, a stronghold for RSF forces in central Sudan, and on Abu Quta town, some 50 kilometres from the capital Khartoum.

Social media activists published videos showing army troops inside the recaptured towns.

“We are determined to liberate every area from the [RSF] militia,” army spokesman Abdel Moneim Abdel Basit said in a video statement.

On Tuesday, the Sudanese army announced regaining control of Al-Kamlin, the largest city in northern Jazirah State.

On 11 January, the military declared its entry into Wad Madani, the state’s capital, nearly one year after losing it to the RSF.

RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as Hemedti, later acknowledged the loss of Wad Madani, but described it as “a temporary setback, not a defeat in the broader conflict.”

Currently, the RSF forces remain in northern areas bordering Jazirah and the northwestern areas near White Nile State, while the army controls most of Jazirah State.
