The situation in Sudan remains volatile as the army continues its efforts to reclaim territory from the RSF, indicating a potential escalation in military operations in the region.
The withdrawal of RSF forces from Singa suggests a strategic retreat, possibly in response to the army's coordinated offensive and air support.
The Sudanese army is likely to intensify its operations in Sennar State, aiming to regain full control over areas previously held by the RSF.
Continued clashes may lead to further instability in the region, impacting civilian populations and humanitarian efforts.
The Sudanese army has announced the recapture of the headquarters of the 17th Division of the Rapid Support Forces in Singa, Sennar State, following intense battles over the past two days. The army reported that it has regained control of the command center, which had been held by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
Fierce clashes erupted as the army surrounded Singa from three directions, utilizing forces from Al-Dinder, Al-Damazin, and Sennar. Airstrikes were conducted against RSF positions, facilitating the army's advance and eventual takeover of the headquarters.
A high-ranking army officer indicated that the RSF suffered casualties and lost weaponry during the confrontations, with some RSF fighters reportedly fleeing towards the Roro area in the Blue Nile. Meanwhile, an RSF source confirmed that their forces had withdrawn from Singa as per command directives, though the destination of their withdrawal was not disclosed.
The RSF had initially seized control of Singa in late July, following three days of fighting, and has maintained a presence in other areas of Sennar State. The Sudanese army is now reportedly close to retaking additional cities in the region, including Abu Hajar.
