🇸🇩 Sudan Army's Victory in Wad Madani: A Turning Point in the War

The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have achieved a major victory by recapturing Wad Madani, one of Sudan's largest cities, from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing conflict that has devastated the country since April 2024. The city's liberation is the result of a meticulously planned four-month counter-offensive launched during the dry season.

The RSF withdrew without a fight, as they had done in other key locations earlier. This victory shifts the frontline northward, closer to Khartoum, and deals a significant blow to the RSF's operations in central Sudan.

Regional tensions have soared with the DRC accusing Rwanda of backing the rebels. Kenya's President Ruto, as EAC chair, has called an urgent regional summit to address the crisis. Meanwhile, humanitarian concerns grow as thousands flee the fighting.
