Sudanese Army Launches Major Offensive Against Rapid Support Forces in Khartoum
In a significant escalation of conflict, the Sudanese army launched a major attack on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Thursday morning, targeting their positions across central, northern, and southern axes of Khartoum. This offensive marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing struggle for control in Sudan's capital, with the army reportedly gaining ground by securing key bridges that connect Khartoum, Omdurman, and Khartoum Bahri.
Videos circulating on social media depict army troops entering previously RSF-controlled areas, sparking a wave of support and optimism among many Sudanese citizens. Observers noted that the army's new tactic of employing surprise attacks was a critical factor in the initial successes of this offensive. As the situation unfolds, citizens have been urged to refrain from posting sensitive military movements online to protect the army's strategic advantage.
The atmosphere in Khartoum is charged with emotion, as many residents celebrate the army's advances with joy and hope for a swift resolution to the conflict. Activists expressed their desire for the Sudanese army to decisively defeat the RSF, which has been accused of committing severe human rights violations, including the use of civilians as human shields during combat.
As fierce battles rage on multiple fronts in Khartoum, the Sudanese Air Force has also been involved, conducting airstrikes to support ground operations. The RSF, however, has contested reports of army successes, claiming they have effectively countered the advancing forces. The conflict remains highly dynamic, with both sides preparing for continued clashes in a struggle that has significant implications for Sudan's future.
