Sudanese Army Celebrates Strategic Victory in Jebel Moya
The Sudanese army has regained control of the Jebel Moya area in Sennar State, a crucial strategic location, after fierce battles against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This victory comes more than three months after the RSF seized the area, disrupting supply routes to neighboring states. The army's success was celebrated on October 6, 2024, marking a significant milestone in their ongoing military operations.
Jebel Moya, located approximately 296 kilometers south of Khartoum, is vital for its geographical position, connecting Sennar, White Nile, Al-Jazeera, and Blue Nile States. Military experts note its importance as it facilitates the movement of troops and supplies across these regions. The recent military campaign, which began on September 26, was supervised by high-ranking officials, including Shams El Din Kabbashi, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Army.
During the offensive, the army aimed to cut off RSF supply lines and reclaim lost territories. The successful recapture of Jebel Moya has opened supply routes from the eastern ports of Sudan to the interior regions, potentially stabilizing the economy by improving the flow of goods.
In a statement, Kabbashi pledged to continue advancing until the RSF is fully expelled from Sudan, indicating the army's commitment to restoring control over the country. The governor of Al-Jazeera State also expressed optimism about the imminent liberation of Wad Madani from RSF influence.
Despite the army's celebrations, RSF representatives have remained tight-lipped about the situation, suggesting that they will respond through military action rather than media commentary. As the conflict continues, the implications of this victory could resonate throughout the region, affecting both military strategy and local economies.
