Sudan’s army has retaken a crucial highway connecting the capital, Khartoum, to the volatile city of El-Obeid, according to military sources speaking to AFP on Monday. The strategic move marks a shift in the ongoing conflict between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
The regained highway, a vital artery for movement and supply, has forced the Rapid Support Forces to retreat westward, moving away from the North Kordofan state capital they had aimed to surround. This development opens a new supply route to El-Obeid and beyond, according to one of the anonymous sources.
The military sources emphasized the significance of the operation, noting its impact on the battlefield dynamics. The situation remains fluid as both sides continue their efforts to gain the upper hand in the region. (arabnews.pk)
