In a decisive military development, the Sudanese army announced that the liberation of the capital Khartoum is in its final stage, confirming the continuation of the fighting until the complete elimination of the Rapid Support Forces.
Assistant to the Chief of Staff of the Army and member of the Sovereignty Council, General Yasser Al-Atta, explained that the armed forces will not relent despite significant progress, emphasizing that the army is ready to confront anyone seeking to form a parallel government, and threatening to prosecute the Rapid Support Forces for all crimes and violations committed.
The field progress of the Sudanese army has witnessed significant developments in recent days, as it managed to take full control of Bahri locality, in addition to the presidency of the defense industries system, the industrial zone, and all squares of Kafouri. Its forces also succeeded in advancing into the Hilla Koko area east of the Nile, nearing the convergence with forces coming from the Jazeera, in a step to strengthen control over the capital.
At the same time, the army launched a wide-scale attack on Tuti Island, the last stronghold of the Rapid Support Forces in central Khartoum, paving the way for the complete cleansing of the city.
These victories come after the army regained control of Wad Madani city, the capital of Jazeera State, and lifted the siege on the Jili oil refinery north of Khartoum. Over the past weeks, it also made progress towards the Republican Palace and took control of the intelligence headquarters, marking a significant strategic shift in the war.
Since the conflict erupted in April 2023, the war has caused widespread destruction, with 90% of industrial facilities destroyed, tens of thousands killed, and over 12 million Sudanese forced to flee.
However, with regaining the initiative, the army is now closer than ever to decisively winning the battle and regaining full control of Khartoum, in a step that could reshape the political and military landscape in Sudan.
