Sudanese Army's Strategic Advance in Khartoum
The recent military operations in Khartoum have seen the Sudanese army launch a calculated and large-scale attack aimed at asserting control over the capital and its surrounding cities. According to military experts, this operation was meticulously planned, with the army successfully positioning its forces to cut off supply lines for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The RSF's attempts to defend themselves behind the bridges in Omdurman were met with significant setbacks, resulting in heavy losses.
Tactical Air Support and Siege Conditions
The Sudanese army has employed intensive aerial support, effectively neutralizing the RSF's capabilities to receive reinforcements and supplies. This strategic advantage has left the RSF with limited options: continue fighting under dire conditions, wait for a change in circumstances that appears increasingly unlikely, or surrender. On the other hand, the army is faced with a choice between pushing forward with their operations or adopting a more cautious approach to minimize casualties while tightening their siege on the RSF.
The Situation at the Oil Refinery
In addition to the urban battles, the conflict has extended to the oil refinery located north of Khartoum. The RSF forces stationed there are similarly besieged, facing challenges in securing supplies due to the army's air and ground strategies. Experts predict that the RSF's hold on the refinery is precarious, as their resources dwindle and the army continues its effective military campaign. The air force's precision strikes on supply routes have further crippled the RSF's operational capabilities, leading to a potential swift conclusion of their presence in the area.
