The Sudanese Armed Forces announced a fresh military gain on Tuesday, claiming the recapture of multiple strategic locations in western Omdurman from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), as clashes between the rival factions intensify.
According to a military statement, troops successfully took back control of Al-Safwa, Al-Hilla Al-Jadida, Al-Safirah village, and the Konan camp. The army also stated that mopping-up operations were ongoing to eliminate remaining RSF presence in the area.
The military said it had neutralized dozens of RSF fighters, destroyed several armed vehicles, and was pursuing those who fled the battlefield. It described the latest operation as part of a broader campaign to regain territory and weaken the RSF’s grip on urban centers.
The conflict, which erupted on April 15, 2023, has devastated Sudan, plunging the nation into a deep humanitarian crisis. While official counts put the death toll at over 20,000 with 15 million people displaced, independent research suggests the actual number of deaths could be much higher—reaching as many as 130,000.
In recent weeks, the Sudanese army has made notable territorial gains across several regions, reversing earlier losses and putting pressure on the RSF’s strongholds.
